Paul Stovell discusses potential improvements to the deployment workflow of Octopus Deploy to address issues in the current architecture. The existing process involves three stages: downloading packages from a NuGet feed, uploading them to Tentacles, and executing deployment steps. However, this approach can lead to inefficiencies, such as the inability to run pre-upload scripts and excessive bandwidth usage due to duplicate package uploads. Stovell proposes two key changes: introducing pre-package upload steps that allow tasks like VPN connections to be executed before package downloads and enabling Tentacles to download packages directly from a NuGet server instead of through Octopus. These changes aim to enhance deployment efficiency, particularly in distributed environments, and Stovell invites feedback on these suggestions.
