Connecting Octopus Cloud to your internal systems — without opening a single port

The Octopus Connection Agent is a lightweight Docker container that enables Octopus Cloud to securely reach internal systems like GitHub Enterprise and Artifactory without requiring inbound firewall ports or VPNs. It works by initiating an outbound-only connection over port 443 from inside the customer's network, authenticating via JWT-signed private keys. Enterprises can run it as a Kubernetes pod, configure allowed IP ranges for access control, and support multiple agents for redundancy. Currently supports Git repositories, SMTP servers, and various artifact feeds including NuGet, Maven, Helm, and Docker registries. Available as a Docker image on Docker Hub with a limit of 5 internal resource connections.
