Octopus Deploy is considering the introduction of a new target type called Cloud Regions, which aims to address the challenge of deploying Azure components to multiple regions efficiently. Previously, version 3.0 of Octopus Deploy offered specific deployment targets for Azure, but these were deprecated in version 3.1 in favor of steps. However, the need to deploy the same component across different Azure regions has led to the reconsideration of a target-based approach, as customers have found the current methods—using either separate environments or multiple steps per region—unsatisfactory. Cloud Regions will allow Azure steps to execute multiple times, once for each target, without requiring changes to existing configurations unless desired. This new feature is not limited to Azure and can also be used for executing scripts across different environments, making it useful for various scenarios such as running SQL scripts on both production and disaster-recovery servers. The Octopus team is seeking feedback, especially from users of the deprecated Azure targets, to refine this feature and eventually phase out the old target method.
