Where is Octopus Cloud hosted?įor new Octopus Server licenses, go to our pricing page, select the number of targets you plan to deploy to and click Buy Now. Octopus Cloud makes more sense if you are primarily deploying applications to the cloud and when you are comfortable entrusting security and backups to us. Our team takes care of managing the service, ensuring it is backed up and has the latest patches and features.įor these reasons, we recommend Octopus Server when you have specific security or privacy requirements, need to integrate Octopus with your internal Active Directory domain, or when you want to put Octopus as close as possible to the target servers you are deploying software to, and when you are already managing virtual machines and other applications. Octopus Cloud is the easiest way to run Octopus Deploy. You are responsible for keeping the operating system patched and installing Octopus updates, as well as for security and backups. You also need a SQL Server database and disk storage for application packages. With Octopus Server, you'll need to manage the underlying virtual or physical server for Octopus to run on. This allows you to run Octopus in your own data center or within your own Amazon or Azure cloud environment.
Octopus Server is software that you download and install yourself - a "self-hosted" solution.
