We are running on an Octopus version almost two years old. What new features or new APIs in the current version would make a compelling business case to Upgrade? Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks,
Hello!
Thanks for your question.
One big reason to keep your Octopus software up to date is that you’ll have the latest bug, security, and performance fixes. We’ve introduced Long Term Support editions of Octopus for companies that want a stable version of Octopus that is supported for 6 months. Our latest LTS edition is 2019.9.
Here’s a list of improvements and features from the last two years.
- Operations Runbooks currently in EAP and not available in the current LTS
- Workers, a way to share the Octopus Server workload
- Spaces, a way to better organize large Octopus servers
- A streamlined process editor
- Jira integration and work item tracking
- Tentacle for Linux
- AWS support
- Kubernetes support
- Terraform support
- GitHub feeds
- Improved Azure support
- Script steps can reference multiple packages
- Recurring scheduled deployments
- Deploy releases from another release
- A lot of performance improvements
You can also use this page to see the changes from your current version and the latest LTS. I set the starting version to 3.17.14 but you can choose your version as the starting point.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Best,
Ryan
