Summary

Atlassian's Bitbucket Pipelines, a cloud-based continuous integration service, utilizes Docker containers to manage infrastructure as code, offering a streamlined way to configure pipelines, especially when integrating third-party tools through Bitbucket Pipes. These Pipes encapsulate reusable code that simplifies pipeline configurations and supports dependencies not required by the main pipeline. The article details the creation and integration of a Pipe for the Octopus CLI command, aimed at packaging applications within a Bitbucket Pipeline and subsequently integrating with Octopus Deploy. It guides users through setting up a Pipe repository, generating a Pipe skeleton using Yeoman, writing Pipe scripts, testing with BATS, and deploying the Pipe using Bitbucket Pipelines and Docker Hub. Additionally, it describes how to automate versioning and release processes while integrating package and build information into Octopus, illustrating the seamless interaction between Bitbucket Pipelines and Octopus Deploy for efficient DevOps workflows.
