Hi,
I’m trying to speed up our deployments in the following scenario:
- 1 Octopus 3.3.4 server.
- 3 Environments:
QA
(1 machine) =>Staging
(4 machines) =>Production
(30 machines) - 1
manual
lifecycle for deploying projects manually from one environment to the next. - 1
auto
lifecycle for deploying projects automatically from one environment to the next with no user intervention. - 200 projects.
I’m using an automated script to create new Releases for 50 projects in one go and deploy them through the auto
lifecycle. At the moment this results in dozens of Tasks sitting waiting for each other. What’s the best way to speed up this process?
- I’ve increased the Nodes -> Task cap so that the server attempts to carry out more Tasks concurrently.
- Tasks’ Steps are mostly waiting for each other with the message:
This Tentacle is currently busy performing a task that cannot be run in conjunction with any other task. Please wait...
This page seems to indicate that I can set a OctopusBypassDeploymentMutex
to true
and this would stop deployments waiting for each other? Is that right? Can OctopusBypassDeploymentMutex
be defined in a Variable Set, or does it have to be a Project Variable?
Is there any other way of increasing the number of concurrent deployments that the tentacles will carry out?
Cheers,
Martin.
