Infrastructure

With Octopus Deploy you can deploy software to Windows servers, Linux servers, Microsoft Azure, AWS, an offline package drop, or cloud regions. These machines and services are your deployment targets, and because software is typically deployed to more than one machine (or deployment target) Octopus organizes your deployment targets into groups called environments. Typical environments are Development, Test, and Production.

Your environments and deployment targets are managed from the Infrastructure tab of the Octopus Web Portal.

Lifecycles

After you've configured your environments, you can define lifecycles that specify how your software is promoted through your environments, and which projects are associated with which environments.

Learn more about Lifecycles.

Adding Deployment Targets to Environments

Deployment targets are added to environments in different ways, depending on the type of target and how they will communicate with the Octopus Deploy Server.
