Automating Tentacle for Linux installation with CloudFormation templates

In Shawn Sesna's blog post from October 2019, the process of automating infrastructure deployment on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using CloudFormation templates and Octopus Deploy is outlined. The guide details how to configure a Tentacle for Linux on an EC2 instance to facilitate application deployment, using the OctoPetShop, a .NET Core application, as an example. Key steps include installing Tentacle for Linux, configuring it as a Polling Tentacle to minimize firewall configurations, registering it with the Octopus server, and setting it up to run as a Linux service. Additionally, the script includes the installation of .NET Core, ensuring the EC2 instance is ready to host applications. The automation process is further enhanced by adding a Project Trigger in Octopus Deploy, enabling automatic deployment of the OctoPetShop application whenever a new machine is available.
