About Jenkins

The leading open source automation server, Jenkins provides hundreds of plugins to support building, deploying and automating any project. As an extensible automation server, Jenkins can be used as a simple CI server or turned into the continuous delivery hub for any project. Jenkins is a self-contained Java-based program, ready to run out-of-the-box, with packages for Windows, Linux, macOS and other Unix-like operating systems. Jenkins can be easily set up and configured via its web interface, which includes on-the-fly error checks and built-in help. With hundreds of plugins in the Update Center, Jenkins integrates with practically every tool in the continuous integration and continuous delivery toolchain. Jenkins can be extended via its plugin architecture, providing nearly infinite possibilities for what Jenkins can do. Jenkins can easily distribute work across multiple machines, helping drive builds, tests and deployments across multiple platforms faster.

Octopus Deploy
Octopus Deploy
Founded in 2012, Octopus Deploy enables successful deployments for over 25,000 companies around the world. Prior to Octopus Deploy, release orchestration and DevOps automation tools were clunky, limited to large enterprises and didn't deliver what they promised. Octopus Deploy was the first release automation tool to gain popular adoption by software teams, and we continue to invent new ways for Dev & Ops teams to automate releases and deliver working software to production. Runbook automation in Octopus sits side-by-side with your deployments and gives you control over your infrastructure and applications. Automate operations tasks like routine maintenance and emergency incident recovery. Flexible, role-based access control lets you manage who can deploy to production, change your deployment process, infrastructure, and more.
