What are tenanted deployments?

Multi-tenancy involves dividing software infrastructure into manageable parts called tenants, allowing cost savings, process simplification, and customization for individual customers. Although this approach offers advantages like easier customization and deployment flexibility across different infrastructures, it also introduces challenges such as process duplication, error iteration, scaling difficulties, and complex release tracking. Tenanted deployments can become cumbersome, particularly when scaling to accommodate numerous tenants, often leading to increased risk of errors and time-consuming manual processes. Octopus addresses these issues by automating and simplifying the deployment process through its Tenants feature, which allows for a unified deployment process, quick tenant additions, customizable deployments, and efficient infrastructure management, ultimately enhancing the scalability and reliability of tenanted deployments.
