Operational Validation is a general term meant to include monitoring and decision making inside Spinnaker based on observed behavior of deployed applications, micro-services, and other software. Canary deployments, simple metric monitoring, and other detection of issues in a production or semi-production environment are common ways to identify issues in newly released code. However, this SIG is not limited to deploy-time events.
- Establish a common framework for evaluating and improving validation techniques.
- Facilitate community contributions to the Spinnaker ecosystem where validation methods can be inserted into pipelines and other decision points.
