Continuous deployment automation platform vendor Octopus Deploy announced today that it is acquiring Codefresh, which produces a modern CI/CD platform with GitOps and maintains the Argo open source delivery project. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The acquisition serves in part to strengthen Octopus’ support for Kubernetes, the company said in a statement.
“Octopus is thrilled to welcome Codefresh to the team,” said Paul Stovell, Founder and Chief Executive Officer Octopus Deploy, says the press release. “We’re adding significant Codefresh technology to enable software teams to deploy freely. It represents a major investment in open source and the Argo project that Codefresh maintains and expands with its enterprise offering.”
The integration of Codefresh into the Octopus platform will provide what the company called in its announcement “unparalleled benefits for software teams, including advanced CD, deployment automation, release orchestration, environment progression, visibility and enterprise compliance across workloads.”
According to Octopus Deploy, the acquisition will make the company’s platform and technology the most comprehensive CD solution at scale, bringing CD, CI and GitOps into a single software delivery platform.
“We are eager to bring the power of Codefresh’s continuous integration and cloud native capabilities GitOps – based on Argo – for Octopus Deploy,” said Raziel Tabib, the company’s founder and CEO
Codefresh, in a statement. “With Codefresh and Octopus, we will elevate the capabilities available to software teams and drive innovation in continuous delivery.”
Dan Garfield, co-founder and COO at Codefresh, said in a statement: “We’re thrilled to have found a home at Octopus, where they believe in the community we’ve helped build around Argo and GitOps. We will be able to invest even more in open source and continue to develop Argo and other open source initiatives with our community partners.”
With the recent closure of Weaveworks, which defined GitOps and created Flux CD, that project and Argo CD remain the two leading open source projects for CD, Kubernetes and GitOps, where they are incubated at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
