These are the most important features you'll get by upgrading from 2018.9.15 to 2018.10.0
Octopus 2018.9
Highlights
Kubernetes
2018.9 removes the alpha feature-flag from the Kubernetes support in Octopus!
The following pieces are now fully-supported members of the Octopus family:
- Kubernetes targets
- Deploy Containers to Kubernetes step
- Helm Chart feeds and Help Upgrade step
- Run kubectl script step
Offline Drop Artifacts
Offline Package Drop targets can now be configured to persist the bundle as an Octopus Artifact.
Offline Package Drop targets could previously only persist the bundle to a file-system directory, which wasn't suitable for Octopus Cloud instances. Artifacts are a perfect fit for this; the deployment bundle is persisted a zip file stored against the deployment in Octopus.

- Azure PowerShell modules upgraded from
