Converting many environments to tenants via the Octopus API

Mark Butler discusses the process of converting an existing application to a multi-tenancy model using Octopus Deploy, focusing on a project named Vet Clinic. The article emphasizes the challenges of managing customer-specific environments and the benefits of using the Octopus REST API to automate the transition to multi-tenancy. By leveraging this API, users can streamline the conversion process, create tenants from existing environments, and redefine project variables as templates to accommodate tenanted deployments. The guide provides detailed steps, including creating a new lifecycle and enabling tenanted deployments, to simplify and automate this transformation, ultimately reducing the complexity and manual effort involved. The conversion process is demonstrated through scripts that facilitate the creation of tenants and the transformation of project variables, highlighting the potential for significant time savings and efficiency gains.
