Hi,

I am presently using Octopus deploy for deploying .Net applications. I was wondering if it can be replaced by Ansible, I am playing around with Ansible for cloud provisioning, it will be great if it could also help out with the application deployments.
So bearing this in mind can someone please let me know if it is possible to deploy Nuget and Web Deploy packages and apply Web Transforms using Ansible?

Thanks in advance.

That’s a good question.

imho Octopus doesn’t do anything that Ansible can’t do (they’re both great at executing stuff on remote nodes), but Octopus is very geared towards deploying nuget-packaged artifacts, while with Ansible you’d have to write a good portion of that yourself.

I don’t think there’s a native module for web deploy (yet), but it should be fairly easy to write one (at least a simple one)
