Docs: Your first Kubernetes deployment with Octopus
This guide will help you complete your first deployment to Kubernetes with Octopus Deploy.
Read the guideContainer deployments > Kubernetes deployments
Kubernetes CD at scale. Make it simple.
Use Octopus to simplify your Kubernetes deployments with environment progression, observability, and enterprise compliance as standard.
The challenges with Kubernetes deployments at scale
Kubernetes is powerful but gets complicated when deploying hundreds or thousands of applications. Challenges like managing environments, lack of pipeline visibility, and compliance get more complex at scale.
What starts as a few lines of scripts and a few YAML files in Git becomes thousands of scripts and YAML sprawl – essentially DIY shadow CD tooling.
Octopus is built to model all the complexity of delivering software to Kubernetes – and anywhere else – at scale. You also benefit from over a decade of deployment and CD expertise.
With Octopus, you'll spend less time managing your Kubernetes pipelines and more time shipping new features and improving your software.
Scalable, simple, and safe Kubernetes deployments with Octopus
Understand the status of all Kubernetes clusters in an instant
Knowing what deployed where is tough when you deploy to many Kubernetes clusters and deployment targets.
It can be difficult to get visibility of application changes progressing to production in Kubernetes.
Octopus's dashboards lets you see key information across all your projects and environments at a glance.
Each release on the dashboard is clickable. You can drill down to see who released what and when, all in a matter of seconds.
Consistent deployments to dev, test, and production with environment progression
)
Many Kubernetes tools have no concept of environments. Each environment is often a separate application. This makes updating manifest files and promoting releases inconsistent and risky.
The concepts of environments and environment progression are core pillars of Octopus.
You define your deployment process once and re-use it for all your environments.
Enterprise-grade compliance features your SecOps team needs as you scale
)
Maintaining safe and secure deployments can be difficult when scaling Kubernetes deployments.
Octopus provides built-in RBAC controls and ITSM integrations to handle access to projects, approvals, and safe deployments to production. Audit logs store every action so you have a complete picture of who did what and when.
Runbooks let you automate day-0 provisioning and day-2 maintenance tasks that your team can self-serve with a single click.

Hundreds of enterprise teams use Octopus to deploy their software to Kubernetes
Before Octopus, we had limited visibility of our deployments. Now, we have a single-pane view of all our deployments and tenants in one place across all our environments. It has really helped us to cross the boundary between non-production and production within our organization.

Octopus’s presentation and handling of multiple lifecycles and environments is the best I have seen.
Each product we bring on is different, and every team has a different process. The fact that we can store all the steps and patterns improves efficiency. It means we aren’t having to reinvent everything every time.
