CI/CD Fundamentals

Continuous Deployment

Continuous deployment automatically releases each change that passes the required pipeline checks to production. It extends continuous delivery by removing the routine manual approval between a successful pipeline and a production release.

Why it matters

Automated production releases require reliable checks and recovery procedures.

Practical example

Use automated rollout checks and rollback procedures before allowing successful builds to deploy unattended.
