Config as Code strategies

Since the early access preview of Octopus's Configuration as Code (Config as Code), numerous questions have arisen regarding its optimal use, prompting a discussion about best practices and strategic adjustments. Config as Code enables the storage of deployment processes as configuration files within a Git repository, allowing for version control, branching, and collaboration through tools like pull requests, while maintaining the deployment configuration in human-readable Octopus Configuration Language (OCL) files. It's recommended to store deployment configurations alongside application code to align with DevOps practices, though separate repositories may be warranted in certain organizational scenarios, such as access restrictions or policy differences. The use of branches and pull requests helps contain and manage risks during changes, while the Octopus Deploy Terraform Provider can be utilized for resources not suited to Config as Code. The document concludes by encouraging users to confidently choose strategies for Config as Code and stay informed about future updates, such as Config as Code for Runbooks, through Octopus's roadmap and webinars.
