DC/OS vs Octopus Deploy: What are the differences?

Developers describe DC/OS as "The Datacenter Operating System. The easiest way to run microservices, big data, and containers in production". Unlike traditional operating systems, DC/OS spans multiple machines within a network, aggregating their resources to maximize utilization by distributed applications. On the other hand, Octopus Deploy is detailed as "Automated deployment for .NET". Octopus works with your build server to enable reliable, secure, automated releases of ASP.NET applications and Windows Services into test, staging and production environments, whether they are in the cloud or on-premises.

DC/OS and Octopus Deploy are primarily classified as "Cluster Management" and "Deployment as a Service" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by DC/OS are:

• High Resource Utilization
• Mixed Workload Colocation
• Container Orchestration

On the other hand, Octopus Deploy provides the following key features:

• Deploy on-premises or to the cloud, securely
• Built for .NET developers
• Configuration and scripting

"Easy to setup a HA cluster" is the primary reason why developers consider DC/OS over the competitors, whereas "Powerful" was stated as the key factor in picking Octopus Deploy.
