Recently we’ve started to using Octopus deploy in an AWS EC2 environment. The challenge we are having is automatic tentacle registration on Auto Scale. After a couple of hours, we’ve found the solution. Noticed some people are asking the same questions on Octopus deploy support portal . But didn’t give a clear solution, therefore I decided to share founds we had.
The solution we are having is to install and register the tentacle with commend line.
Step 1 Install tentacle
Step 2 configure tentacle
Step 3 octo promote-release
Hopefully, this is helpful.
Setup OctopusThe example contains two processes:
1. Deploy
2. Send email
