Platform Hub is a new capability in Octopus that helps platform teams standardize how software is delivered across teams using connected templates and enforceable policies. Together, these features create a governance layer for software delivery, making it easier for platform teams to scale best practices, reduce drift, and deliver with confidence.
- Policies is currently in Alpha for all Enterprise Tier Customers. The feature is not finished or fully tested, and may change drastically as we iterate and build more functionality.
- Process Templates is in Public Preview for all Enterprise Tier Customers. The feature is mostly complete, and mostly tested. Expect some changes between Public Preview and the Generally Available release.
You can create and manage your process templates and policies from Platform Hub.
- Process templates are reusable sets of deployment steps that can be shared across multiple spaces in Octopus Deploy
- Policies in Octopus are designed to ensure compliance and governance by default, making enforcing pre- and post-deployment controls at scale easier.
To get started, configure your version control.
This Git repository will be used for all features in Platform Hub.
