Octopus

Description

Octopus is a deployment automation for .NET servers

Octopus is a deployment automation tool for .NET developers. Octopus takes over where your Continuous Integration server ends, enabling you to easily automate even the most complicated application deployments, whether on-premises or in the cloud.

Key Features:

• Promote releases between environments:Limit who can deploy to production, ensure releases have been tested first, schedule deployments for later tonight, or block promotion of broken releases.
• Repeatable & reliable deployments:For each release, you’ll build your binaries once, but deploy and promote them many times, ensuring that what goes to production is exactly what you just tested.
• Complex deployments made easy:High level deployment steps for .NET, Java and other platforms, the ability to run custom scripts, management of sensitive variables and advanced deployment patterns means Octopus can simplify even the most complicated application deployments.
• Intuitive, easy to use dashboard:Octopus radiates information, telling your team at a glance what’s deployed where.
• Easy to install and get started:Octopus is intuitive to use and comes with a ton of useful documentation and training videos if you get stuck.
• First class platform support:Octopus comes bundled with built-in conventions for deploying different types of applications, handling configuration files and calling scripting languages of your choice. And our community library provides over 200 steps that you can reuse.
• Versatile integration with your existing build pipeline:Command line tooling plus first-class plugins for the most common CI servers means you can trigger deployments to dev or test environments as soon as a successful build completes.
• Automate your deployments to the cloud or on-premises:Octopus provides an agent called Tentacle that supports deployment to virtual machines – whether they’re on-premises or hosted in AWS EC2 or Azure VM’s.
