So with the cloud we are considering like many the possibility of spinning up dynamically spin up additional servers (application servers, db servers) based on requests. Looking at this there appears to have the need for an incredible amount of flexibility.
Connection Strings, other architecture items (SMTP, etc.), URIs, Service Accounts, CI\CD considerations (if this environment is dev and only supposed to take a particular version of code-thinking major/minor versions specifically) - lifecycles, channels, roles…
I’m trying to think through a model that could have this work with Octopus because manual updates for that type of thing would have me buried in work. Has anyone had success with a lab manager style environment with Octopus? Are there architectural considerations people can point at?
Thanks!
Hi Mike,
This is an approach that may be of interest to you.
We are also currently working on a set of features known as Machine Policies, which will enable support for elastic environments and transient machines, as outlined in this post.
This will ship in our next release (3.4), and should also be of help for scenarios such as the one you are considering.
I hope that helps,
Michael
Thanks for the information. There has been another discussion I’ve been involved with, with regards to DSC so this could be a possibility.
