Octopus Easy Mode - Runbooks

Matthew Casperson's post introduces the integration of runbooks into a project using Octopus Cloud, a platform for managing deployment processes. It outlines the prerequisites, including an Octopus Cloud account and the Octopus AI Assistant Chrome extension, which simplifies the setup compared to an on-premises instance. The post guides users to create a Script project titled "07. Script App with Runbooks" and add runbooks for tasks like "Backup Database" and "Restart Web App," specifying that each runbook should execute only in the Production environment. Runbooks are described as tools for handling tasks outside the regular deployment routine, and the next suggested step involves adding a library variable set to enhance project functionality.
