Create an application

Before you can create delivery pipelines, create an application for the service you will be deploying.

You can’t create a deployment pipeline unless you have an application to put it in. If you’re accessing Spinnaker for the first time and there are no applications available, the first thing you’re going to do is create one.

  1. From any screen, click on the Applications tab.

    Note that there might be some applications there already. In some cases, Spinnaker creates applications automatically based on existing infrastructure.

    These applications will be marked “unconfigured”; they won’t have the application attributes that are added when you create a new application. These inferred applications are not suitable for putting your pipelines in; go ahead and create a new one.

  2. Click Actions, then Create Application.

  3. Provide the application attributes in the New Application dialog.

    FieldRequiredDescription
    NameYesA unique name to identify this application.
    Owner EmailYesThe email address of the owner of this application, within your installation of Spinnaker.
    Repo typeNoThe platform hosting the code repository for this application. Stash, Bitbucket, or GitHub.
    DescriptionNoUse this text field to describe the application, if necessary.
    Consider only cloud provider healthBool, default=noIf enabled, instance status as reported by the cloud provider is considered sufficient to determine task completion. When disabled, tasks need health status reported by some other health provider (load balancer, discovery service).
    Show health override optionBool, default=noIf enabled, users can toggle previous option per task.
    Instance portNoThis field is used to generate links from Spinnaker instance details to a running instance. The instance port can be used or overridden for specific links configured for your application (via the Config screen).
    Enable restarting running pipelinesBool, default=noIf enabled, users can restart pipeline stages while a pipeline is still running. This behavior is not recommended.

  4. Click Create.

Next steps

You now have an application in which to start adding infrastructure and creating pipelines. These application attributes are the minimum configuration, but you will probably want to finish configuring the application .
