You have an Azure DevOps project.
Your build process creates several artifacts.
You need to deploy the artifacts to on-premises servers.
Solution: You deploy an Octopus Deploy server. You deploy a polled Tentacle agent to an on-premises server. You add an Octopus task to the deployment pipeline.
Does this meet the goal?

A. B.B
Instead you should deploy an Azure self-hosted agent to an on-premises server.
Note: To build your code or deploy your software using Azure Pipelines, you need at least one agent.
If your on-premises environments do not have connectivity to a Microsoft-hosted agent pool (which is typically the case due to intermediate firewalls), you'll need to manually configure a self-hosted agent on on-premises computer(s).
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/agents?view=azure-devopsYes, the solution meets the goal of deploying artifacts to on-premises servers.
The solution involves the following steps:
Deploy an Octopus Deploy server: Octopus Deploy is a deployment automation tool that enables deployment of applications and services to on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure. By deploying an Octopus Deploy server, you can manage the deployment of your artifacts to on-premises servers.
Deploy a polled Tentacle agent to an on-premises server: A Tentacle agent is an agent software that runs on an on-premises server and communicates with the Octopus Deploy server. The Tentacle agent polls the Octopus Deploy server for deployment tasks and executes them on the server. By deploying a polled Tentacle agent to an on-premises server, you can enable the server to receive and execute deployment tasks from the Octopus Deploy server.
Add an Octopus task to the deployment pipeline: In Azure DevOps, you can create a deployment pipeline that deploys your artifacts to the Octopus Deploy server. By adding an Octopus task to the deployment pipeline, you can trigger the deployment of the artifacts to the on-premises servers through the Tentacle agent.
Therefore, by deploying an Octopus Deploy server, deploying a polled Tentacle agent to an on-premises server, and adding an Octopus task to the deployment pipeline, you can meet the goal of deploying the artifacts to on-premises servers.
