What

Deployments and runbook runs on Octopus Cloud now survive node restarts and maintenance windows — they pause and resume automatically rather than failing. Several docs still framed task failure during outages as expected behaviour, or described resilience as future roadmap work. This updates them.

Scope

Octopus Cloud only, deployments and runbook runs only. The claim is resilience shipped on Cloud, not maintenance windows removed — maintenance windows still exist; deployments and runbook runs now survive them.

Other task types (e.g. system tasks, health checks) are not resilient yet, so the maintenance-window page keeps the "other in-progress system tasks may still be abandoned" caveat.

Self-hosted HA pages are intentionally left unchanged — resilience is not yet on self-hosted.

Changes

File Change
octopus-cloud/maintenance-window.md Replace the "resilience is future roadmap work" hint with shipped behaviour; scope the shutdown-timeout note to deployments/runbook runs (other in-progress system tasks may still be abandoned)
octopus-cloud/frequently-asked-questions.md Add "What happens to my deployments during a maintenance window?" under Availability
octopus-rest-api/.../rerun-deployments-and-runbooks-after-node-shutdown.mdx Add a Cloud-obsolescence note; script remains relevant for self-hosted HA

Deployments and runbook runs on Octopus Cloud now survive node restarts
and maintenance windows: they pause and resume automatically rather than
failing. Update the customer-facing docs that still framed task failure
during outages as expected behaviour.

- maintenance-window: replace the "resilience is future roadmap work"
  hint with shipped behaviour; scope the shutdown-timeout note to
  deployments/runbook runs (other system tasks may still be abandoned)
- Cloud FAQ: add "What happens to my deployments during a maintenance window?"
- bulk-operations rerun script: add a Cloud-obsolescence note (still
  relevant for self-hosted HA)

Scope is Octopus Cloud only. Self-hosted HA pages are intentionally left
unchanged — resilience is not yet on self-hosted.
