This section describes a number of common deployment patterns and practices, and their practical implementation with Octopus.
Rolling deployments
Rolling deployments are a pattern whereby, instead of deploying a package to all servers at once, we slowly roll out the release by deploying it to each server one-by-one.
Rollbacks
Being able to roll back to a known good state of code is often just as important as deploying software.
Multi-region deployment pattern
Implementing multi-region deployments, i.e. deploying to multiple geographic regions, with Octopus.
Blue/green deployments
Blue/green deployments are a pattern whereby we reduce downtime during production deployments by having two separate production environments (“blue” and “green”).
Elastic and transient environments
Elastic and transient environments is a group of features to facilitate deploying to machines that are intermittently available for deployment.
Canary deployments
Canary deployments are a pattern for rolling out releases to a subset of users or servers.
Branching strategies
This section describes how different branching strategies can be modeled in Octopus Deploy.
Deployment process as code
With Octopus you can manage your deployment process as code. This means you can define your deployment process, scripts, and variables in source code.
