Connecting Octopus Cloud to your internal systems — without opening a single port

Enterprise teams often face challenges migrating to Octopus Cloud due to security and compliance constraints that prevent external connections to their internal systems like artifact repositories and source control servers. The Octopus Connection Agent, introduced in July 2026, addresses this issue by providing a secure, outbound-only connection from within the network to the Octopus Cloud instance over port 443, thus eliminating the need for inbound firewall changes. This solution is particularly beneficial for regulated environments, as it maintains high security standards by using JWT-signed private keys for authentication and allows users to specify which internal hosts the agent can access. The Connection Agent supports various resources such as GitHub Enterprise, SMTP servers, and several container and feed registries, with plans for additional resource support under development. This innovation enables enterprises to focus on migrating their pipelines and deploying to production without the added risk and complexity of additional infrastructure configuration, marking a significant enabler for cloud migration projects.
