You don’t need custom scripts for environment promotion. You need Octopus.
Create a new environment for hundreds of microservices in minutes, not hours. Octopus models environments out-of-the-box. Whether you’re shipping to Kubernetes or anywhere else, you can spend less time building custom scripts and more time building features your customers care about.
Environment promotion doesn’t need to be hard
With many tools, you have to write custom scripts to promote across environments. As you scale, you end up with thousands of custom scripts that become almost impossible to manage. This slows down deployments, increases risk and cost, and degrades the developer experience.
Octopus is built to model all the complexity of delivering software to Kubernetes — and anywhere else — at scale. You can automate environment promotion without custom scripting, saving you time and reducing errors.
The perfect tool for environment promotion at scale
Save time with automated, reusable processes
Often, you need to add rules to environments to cover the deployment sequence, manual approval steps, deployment day or time, and testing. With Octopus, you can:
- Gate your environments and automate even the most complex sequences to include all the necessary checks and steps.
- Define your process once and reuse it for multiple environments with lifecycles.
Configuration management made easy
No environment is the same. Often you need to adjust and alternate YAML, labels, resources, or secrets, leading to errors and slower deployments. With Octopus, you can:
- Easily manage and apply the correct values across environments using variables without manual updates, custom scripting, or hard-coded configuration settings.
- Manage microservices running on Kubernetes with one configuration template and pipeline to deploy across your environments.
Confidence in what goes to production
With custom scripting, there’s a risk that what you tested will change before it goes to production. In Octopus, you can:
- Deploy to production confidently with a snapshot of your release that doesn’t change.
- Redeploy automatically or in a few clicks if something goes wrong.
- Run tests of different versions, and run releases simultaneously.
With full auditing, role-based access control (RBAC), and single sign-on (SSO) as standard, Octopus offers teams accountability, peace of mind, and trust.
Deliver software at scale without extra effort
Custom scripting is difficult to manage at scale and quickly slows down deployment processes. With Octopus, you can:
- Use one process, without custom scripting, to deploy to hundreds or thousands of regions, servers, on-premises locations, or remote sites.
- Manage unique processes, customizations, and features using tenant tags and variables.
No matter how many environments, projects, applications, or teams you have, Octopus can handle it.

Octopus makes environment promotion simple.
- Configure your deployment process once and apply it to all environments
- Add as many environments as you need
- Handle environmental differences with Octopus variables
- Automate promotion between environments with all the necessary checks and steps included
- Reuse your environments with different projects
