Octopus Easy Mode - Progressive Rollout

Progressive rollouts reduce deployment risk by releasing software to progressively larger portions of production traffic and stopping promotion when validation identifies errors. This Octopus Cloud tutorial uses the Octopus AI Assistant to create a sample project named “18. Progressive rollout,” with a custom lifecycle that moves one release through Development, Prod 10, Prod 50, and Prod 100 environments. Each deployment simulates an application release, checks a prompted failure variable as a validation gate, and, upon success, invokes a runbook that waits 60 seconds before using the Octopus API to deploy the same release to the next environment. The delayed runbook addresses Octopus’s requirement that a current deployment finish before the next one can begin, while the schedule can be customized to allow longer validation periods or off-peak final releases. Although tenants can also represent rollout groups, environments are recommended because they are easier to visualize, lifecycle progression is enforced, and failed releases can be blocked from advancing.
