Today, there are few restrictions for Octopus. Octopus is first and foremost a .NET based deployment automation tool – however, tentacles today (version 3.x) are supporting SSH endpoints with a handful of Linux based OSes with mono support (Ubuntu and RHEL). You can read more about it here: http://docs.octopusdeploy.com/display/OD/SSH+Targets
This presentation is over 4 years old. Pricing has changed for both VSTS RM as well as Octopus and – to add to the mix of products, Octopus Cloud service is coming some time this year. So pricing-wise, I would not rely on this slide deck being accurate for either Octopus and VSTS.
Hi Ian,
what would be the restrictions of Octopus? It seems that you projects are very oriented to .NET environment.

Got it. Thanks a lot for the answer Ian.
VSTS comes with it’s release management.
In that case does *”RM – high pricing! Octopus – simple and very affordable” still hold good.
