Ian I have enjoyed reading through this deep dive series so thanks for all the hard work you have put forth thus far! I would really encourage you to finish the series as I think there is a lot of value here. We use octopus at my company and it really is a game changer for creating a repeatable deployment process.
Thanks for reading! I am planning on finishing the series. It’s been problematic to finish as we’re currently amidst testing an upgrade from 2.5.13 to 3.1.7. There’s a lot to cover and a lot of the topics I have are directly related to this upgrade (especially for the more enterprise-type environments). That said, I may break off some of the topics into their own mini-series to kind of wrap up the Deep Dive Series. If anything, more content will be coming soon!
