Summary

Paul Stovell discusses potential changes to the way Octopus Deploy handles Deploy.ps1 scripts during deployment, highlighting a current issue where all scripts are invoked without a guaranteed order, which can cause confusion if the scripts are not intended for Octopus. He presents three options: keeping the current system, calling only the root script, or calling the root-most script, with updates indicating that from Octopus version 2.4 onwards, they will adopt calling only the root script if it exists. He invites feedback to find the best solution, emphasizing the goal of making the process straightforward and automatic without adding unnecessary complexity.
