The real Kubernetes challenges

Kubernetes is declarative. Your delivery pipeline should be, too.

Kubernetes changed how teams deploy. But most CD pipelines are still held together with scripts, manual steps, and internal knowledge.

Circle nodes

No single view across clusters

Managing dozens of clusters across environments is challenging. No unified view means guessing what's deployed where and bouncing between tabs.

Promoting changes is still manual

Moving a release from dev to staging to production across multiple applications means coordination, Slack messages, and hoping nothing gets missed.

Duplicate icon

Every team builds its own pipeline

When each team builds its own Helm pipelines without shared foundations or guardrails, you reinvent the wheel while drift compounds over time.

AI is increasing your deployment frequency

AI is pushing more changes faster. If your CD can't handle the volume, it quickly becomes the bottleneck.

Checklist icon

Compliance is harder than it should be

Detailing who deployed what and when for auditors can be stressful and time-consuming when you have to dig through Git logs with missing pieces.

Scaling Argo CD isn't straightforward

A single Argo CD instance for tens of thousands of apps carries real risk. But managing multiple instances creates its own operational overhead.

The Octopus approach

CD built for Kubernetes teams

Octopus meets Kubernetes teams where they are. Built-in support for declarative workflows, YAML, Argo, and GitOps at any scale.

Octopus Deploy dashboard for Kubernetes

One place to manage every deployment and cluster

Connect every Kubernetes cluster, Argo CD instance, and app into a single pane of glass. Deep links give context, so you always know which cluster you're in.

Kubernetes Live Object Status UI

Real-time updates with Live Object Status

See the real-time health and sync state of every deployed resource across all clusters on one dashboard, without being a Kubernetes expert or needing kubectl access. You get a clear picture of what's running and where, without having to check each cluster manually.

Platform hub process UI

Templating at scale with Platform Hub

Give your platform team a way to publish approved deployment templates that other teams can use without reinventing the wheel. Policy is enforced by default, without burdening every team with processes they don't own.

Git icon

Built-in GitOps promotion pipelines

Promote Helm charts and manifests across environments by committing to Git. Octopus verifies sync state and triggers automated remediation on failure.

Govern building icon

Compliance built in from the start

Full audit trails, RBAC, manual intervention gates, and integrations with IT service management (ITSM) tools like ServiceNow and Jira, built in.

Repeat icon

Automated operations runbooks

Automate repeatable ops tasks, like restarting services and applying patches, with a full audit trail. Runbooks work even when Argo needs attention.

For Argo CD teams

Love Argo CD? We do too.

Octopus Deploy is one of the top contributors to the Argo CD project. We don't replace Argo CD; we help you get a lot more out of it, at any scale.

  • Manage apps across hundreds of Argo CD instances as easily as one.
  • Add Octopus to any Argo CD app with a single annotation; no re-architecting.
  • Automated remediation when sync fails. Revert commits, trigger alerts, run runbooks.
  • Multi-cluster Argo CD deployments with controlled blast radius.
  • Enterprise support and technical account management for Argo.
  • The Application Set Generator (coming soon!) - deploy once, scale to 10k+ apps.

AI-READY CD

AI is shipping 20% more code. Is your CD keeping up?

AI/ML workload deployments

54% of enterprises run AI/ML on Kubernetes. Octopus handles immutable releases, versioning, and model updates at any scale.

Recovery Agent

One click to diagnose Kubernetes deployment failures. The Recovery Agent uses AI to pinpoint root causes and suggest fixes, so you can recover faster.

Repeat icon

Automated remediation

When a deployment fails, Octopus can automatically revert commits, trigger alerts, and run ops playbooks, without waiting for someone to notice.

FAQs

Questions your team is already asking

How do we promote changes across environments without manual coordination?

Octopus groups your applications into projects. It doesn't matter if your manifests live in one monorepo or scattered across dozens of repos. When a build completes, Octopus updates image tags and config values and commits directly to Git. Argo CD picks up the change and syncs. Octopus watches the sync, and if it fails, automated remediation kicks in—revert, alert, or trigger an ops runbook. No Slack messages, no war rooms.

How do we let 50 teams self-serve without losing control?

Platform Hub lets your platform team publish approved deployment templates. Other teams can start new projects from those templates in minutes. They get the flexibility they need, with guardrails you've already defined. You get consistency across hundreds of pipelines without becoming a bottleneck for every team that needs to ship.

We're hitting the limits of a single Argo CD instance. What now?

You can push a single Argo instance to 60k+ apps; our maintainers have done it. But we think it's worth limiting the blast radius by domain, with separate instances for test and production environments. Octopus makes managing 50 Argo CD instances as straightforward as managing one. Your engineers always have a single place to go, and ops runbooks keep things running even when Argo itself needs attention.
