Introducing Google Cloud Platform integration for Octopus Deploy

Octopus Deploy has introduced built-in support for Google Cloud Platform (GCP), joining its existing support for AWS and Azure, to address the needs of customers using GCP Kubernetes clusters and running Tentacles on GCP virtual machines. This integration, available in Octopus Deploy 2021.2 and newer, allows users to connect and authenticate with GCP through a dedicated account type, utilize the gcloud command-line tool in custom scripts, and manage GCP infrastructure with Terraform. Users can deploy and scale containerized applications on GCP using Octopus and Kubernetes, with the process facilitated by Octopus managing GCP credentials, allowing pre-authenticated gcloud scripts. The integration enables the execution of scripts on GCP targets, such as creating Kubernetes clusters, and provides options for quick setup using Octopus Cloud's dynamic workers or custom provisioned tools on worker machines. The integration streamlines authentication processes and supports the deployment of infrastructure to GCP, encouraging user feedback through community engagement.
