Octopus 2021 Q4: Deploy to ECS with our guided UI step
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
The Octopus 2021 Q4 release introduces several enhancements, including built-in support for Amazon's Elastic Container Service (ECS), which simplifies ECS deployments by guiding users through setup with an opinionated UI and CloudFormation template generation. Notable updates also include the introduction of a new TypeScript API client for Octopus Deploy, providing cross-platform integration via Node.js, and an early access preview of Configuration as Code for seamless deployment process evolution. The release further enhances existing integrations with improvements to the Terraform Provider, Go API client, and TeamCity plugin, while Octopus Cloud now supports multiple authentication providers like Azure AD, Google, and Okta. Additionally, this release includes some breaking changes, such as new behaviors for GET requests and recommended versions for running Calamari and the Octopus .NET API client. The Octopus team encourages users to upgrade or explore the platform through a free trial and stay updated on future developments via their public roadmap.
