Spinnaker igor

I thought igor may stands for “integration …” in spinnaker. Then I asked chatgpt.

In Spinnaker, “Igor” does not stand for an acronym. Igor is the name given to the component responsible for managing the execution of pipelines in Spinnaker. It is named after the hunchbacked assistant of Dr. Frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s novel “Frankenstein.” The name Igor is often associated with a loyal and diligent helper, reflecting the role of the component in managing deployments and pipeline execution in Spinnaker.

Ok. TIL!

Igor is a service that provides a single point of integration with Continuous Integration (CI) and Source Control Management (SCM) services for Spinnaker.
