Join the Octopus Deploy community

Octopus Insiders

At Octopus Deploy, we’re passionate about DevOps and building a community that cares about sharing their knowledge and experience. It’s why we created the Octopus Insiders program. Octopus Insiders are enthusiastic and experienced DevOps professionals who actively help the community, and we consider them an extension of our team.

Supporting the DevOps community

We love seeing DevOps professionals help their peers, and it's something we love doing too. As an Octopus Insider, we’ll help you contribute to the community.

We'll work with you to:

Share opinions and feedback from your peers with the Octopus team, to help improve deployment automation for everyone.
Support other DevOps professionals by discussing tips, tricks, and industry trends and helping your peers solve complex challenges.
Share your knowledge with the community by contributing articles, creating videos, speaking at events, and answering questions in our Slack community channel.
Champion the importance of DevOps and the CI/CD pipeline.

We understand you’re busy with other commitments, so we promise to make your involvement as an Octopus Insider as easy as possible.

Benefits of being an Octopus Insider

You'll get to:

Collaborate with Octopus and your peers worldwide, both remotely and at meet-ups.
Help shape Octopus features by sharing your feedback directly with our product team.
Receive a free Octopus Deploy partner license (up to 50 machines), free swag, and more.
Be the first to hear about product launches, attend events, and we’ll even sponsor your travel when you’re giving a talk about Octopus.
