Transient Test Environments

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Shows how to create a fresh, realistic integration environment for every branch by wiring GitHub webhooks to Azure Functions and the Octopus Deploy API, then using AWS CloudFormation to spin up two EC2 instances, registering them with Octopus, deploying the correct release versions across projects, running simple HTTP checks, and tearing the environment down. Uses tenant-per-branch via Octopus, CloudFormation stack per commit, and Packer-built AMIs for reproducible base images. Demo has brief hiccups but the full pipeline runs end-to-end.
