Octopus Easy Mode - Lifecycles
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
In this blog post by Matthew Casperson, readers are guided through the process of defining custom lifecycles in an Octopus project, building on previous work where a custom channel was added. Key prerequisites include an Octopus Cloud account and the Octopus AI Assistant Chrome extension, with the cloud-hosted version being the simplest to use due to minimal configuration needs. The post provides instructions for creating a script project titled "13. Script App with Lifecycle," which includes setting up an "Auto Deploy" lifecycle with phases for Development, Test, and Production environments, and establishing a default channel named "Application." This setup enables automatic deployment to the Development environment upon release creation. The post concludes by suggesting the next step of creating a mock Kubernetes deployment project, catering to DevOps and AI enthusiasts.
