We recommend you upgrade them to get the latest bug fixes and security patches when convenient.
- **Calamari**: The Tentacles facilitate communication between Octopus Deploy and the deployment targets. Calamari is the software that does the actual deployments. Calamari and Octopus Deploy are coupled together. Calamari is upgraded automatically during the first deployment to a target.
