Octopus Easy Mode - Kubernetes Microservice Orchestration
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
Octopus Deploy can coordinate independently deployable microservices as a single promotion unit by using an orchestration project with Deploy a Release steps, while preserving each service’s ability to deploy independently. The walkthrough uses the Octopus AI Assistant to create shared infrastructure including a token account, anonymous Docker Hub feed, and mock Kubernetes target, followed by two similarly configured Kubernetes microservice projects that use client-side apply, disabled verification checks, and retries. A parent Kubernetes Microservice Orchestration project then deploys the two child projects sequentially, ensuring that the second service starts only after the first succeeds, though parallel deployment can also be configured. Releases for each child project are selected when creating the orchestration release and deployed to the same environment through a Development, Test, and Production lifecycle, allowing dependent services to be promoted together without sacrificing individual deployment control.
