Deploy anything, anywhere, with Octopus
Octopus is a Continuous Delivery platform for complex deployments across your entire stack.
Deploy with ease to Kubernetes, Linux, Windows virtual machines, Amazon Web Services, Azure, or Google Cloud. If the Octopus Tentacle agent, SSH, command line, or a web service can speak to it, Octopus can deploy to it.
Trusted by thousands of teams to release, deploy, and operate software
You already have a CI/CD tool. Why do you need Octopus?
Let's start by addressing the elephant in the room. CI is not CD. Most all-in-one CI/CD tools weren't designed to handle the complexities of CD at scale.
1. When you’re starting out, your existing tool can probably handle the deployment basics
Tools like GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Buildkite are great for Continuous Integration (CI).
Continuous Delivery (CD) functionality with these tools often means a basic ability to call a deployment script. At the start, that might get you by, but you need to create and maintain the deployment scripts yourself.
All-in-one tools are still a box of parts that need building – they don't 'just work' out of the box.
2. DIY shadow CD and YAML sprawl begins to spiral out of control
Your applications evolve and become more complex. Your deployment scripts become thousands of lines of code, and only a few people understand or are comfortable changing them. As you add more teams and applications, it becomes even more complex. Your 'all-in-one' CI/CD experience becomes CI with DIY shadow CD.
3. Unify software delivery for heritage, multi-cloud, hybrid-cloud, and cloud-native applications
Octopus takes over from 'artifact-forward' and handles the release, deployment, and operations of CD in advanced ways that no CI tool can. You get a dedicated Continuous Delivery platform with the consistency and reliability to deploy thousands of applications to all types of target hosts across your organization. Use Octopus Runbooks to automate day-1 and day-2 routine and emergency operations tasks and free your teams for more crucial work.
Automated, reliable, scalable deployments that maintain quality and compliance
Octopus provides a delightful developer experience while helping you get new and improved software to market faster and more predictably.
Seamlessly promote releases to each environment
Build your deployment process once and re-use it to deploy to each environment. Software teams can deploy with confidence and less risk. Deployments to production are a non-event that 'just work'.
Deployment status visibility across all enterprise applications
Octopus lets you monitor deployments across all environments on all stacks. A single pane of glass for Kubernetes clusters, cloud infrastructure, and VMs across the enterprise.
Safely manage variables for all environments
Octopus has advanced support for managing and scoping variables for all your environments and customers at scale.
Automate day-0 and day-2 operations
Octopus lets you automate routine and emergency operations tasks like infrastructure provisioning and database management. Let developers do special things, like “restart a frozen Kubernetes pod”, without giving them direct production cluster access.
Spend 90% less time building and maintaining deployment scripts and more time shipping new features and delivering valuable software to production.

With Octopus, we have experienced a significant reduction in deployment time. Now deploying new releases can be accomplished in a matter of minutes.

Octopus has helped us change our mindset from let’s just get stuff done to let’s get things automated and repeatable.

We’re trying to shift left and Octopus has meant we can let the developers perform deployments, so the number of people involved has been going down steadily since the beginning, but the number of deployments has increased drastically.
