Summary

Octopus 2020.2 introduces several updates aimed at enhancing deployment processes and release management. Key features include execution containers for workers, which allow isolated deployment work without managing dependencies, and integrated change management with Jira Service Desk, enabling automatic change requests during deployment. The release also improves run conditions, offering more flexibility with rolling deployments and machine-level variable conditions. A new code editor feature simplifies variable lookups, and the release enforces updated minimum requirements for running Octopus Server. This is the second of six planned releases for 2020, each with six months of long-term support, and users can look forward to future features like Config as Code.
