This month's release brings some exciting new features including support for Azure Service Fabric, HSTS, optional lifecycles and performance improvements, among other things!

Once a week we have a short "TL;DR" meeting where team members present things that are interesting. We're going to start recording and posting portions of them to YouTube each week. This first one was about some performance improvements.

Octopus 3.12 is the start of the monthly release cadence, getting started is easier, update steps across all projects, wildcard patterns file matching for variable substitution, PowerShell debugging support, certificate-chain support, improved license notifications.

Real-world examples tested on Windows 2008 R2 through to 2016. Creating sites, configuring application pools, and examples in both the old WebAdministration module and the newer IISAdministration module.
