The Octopus extension helps customers increase
efficiency by providing a more seamless experience for teams
wanting to understand the state of their deployments.
BRISBANE, Australia, May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Octopus Deploy, the industry standard for
Continuous Delivery (CD), has announced their GitHub Copilot
Extension that increases efficiency and helps developers stay in
the flow. The Octopus extension is an integration that responds to
plain text chat queries submitted from Copilot that responds with
useful information from customers' Octopus instances, making it
simpler to connect Octopus and GitHub for deployments.

"The Octopus extension will enable our customers to have natural
conversations around the state of their deployments running in
production," said Harsh Sabikhi, SVP of Worldwide Revenue at
Octopus Deploy. "It will reduce context switching and increase
efficiency by helping developers stay in the flow."
The Octopus extension makes it easier for customers to harness
the power of Octopus without needing a deep understanding of
Octopus. This means that anyone can get answers to
deployment-related questions quickly and easily. The extension
integrates with GitHub Copilot Chat and gives people the ability to
simply extract information from Octopus about deployments, such
as:
- Summaries of the state of deployments
- Access to reporting in logs and security vulnerabilities
- Reporting and statistics around deployments
- Step-by-step instructions straight from Octopus
documentation
The Octopus extension also provides a more seamless experience
for teams using the GitHub UI exclusively. DevOps teams can get the
relevant information they need for deployments without context
switching from GitHub, saving time for developers. It makes it
easier to streamline workflows and understand the state of
deployments using simple text-based queries.
"The Octopus extension allows anyone to query the state of
application deployments, generate custom reports such as a markdown
table showing the release version, release notes and status of the
last 5 deployments, and discover the features and platforms used by
deployment processes," said Matthew
Casperson, Solutions Engineer at Octopus Deploy. "The
natural language interface implemented by Octopus Copilot exposes
valuable business knowledge without requiring a deep understanding
of Octopus, removing a barrier for those who want quick answers to
deployment-related questions. They can ask questions of their
Octopus instance as if they were talking to an Octopus expert."
The Octopus extension is available in limited public beta.
Invited users can install the extension on GitHub Marketplace.
