Deploying to Service Fabric
Octopus Deploy can help you perform repeatable and controlled deployments of your applications into Service Fabric clusters.
What Kind of Applications Can I Deploy to Service Fabric?
The short answer is: anything and everything! As long as you can script the deployment, Octopus can automate your deployments into a Service Fabric cluster.
We provide built-in first-class support for application package deployments in Service Fabric. For everything else, we provide a special step for running PowerShell scripts against Service Fabric.
Where do Service Fabric Steps Execute?
All Service Fabric Steps are executed on the Octopus Server, however, you will need a Service Fabric Deployment Target configured for each Service Fabric cluster you deploy to.
