Continuous Delivery is the ability to get changes of all kinds – including new features, configuration changes, bug fixes, and experimentation – into production or into the hands of users safely, quickly, and sustainably. Our goal is to make deployments – whether for a large distributed system, a complex production environment, an embedded system, or an application – predictable, routine affairs that can be done on demand.
Continuous Delivery (CD) is a software engineering approach in which teams produce software in short cycles to ensure that the software can be reliably released at any time without manual intervention. The goal is to build, test, and release software faster and more frequently. The approach helps reduce the cost, time, and risk of deploying changes by enabling more incremental updates to applications in production. A straightforward and repeatable deployment process is important for continuous delivery.
Continuous Delivery (CD) is the process of automating build, test, configuration, and deployment from a build environment to a production environment. A release pipeline can create multiple test or staging environments to automate infrastructure creation and deploy new builds. Successive environments support incrementally longer-running integration, load, and user acceptance testing.
Continuous Delivery (CD) is an approach to software development based on producing software in short cycles. By developing in short cycles, teams can reliably release their software at any time. With CD, development teams can build, test, and release software faster and more frequently. As a result, they can reduce the cost, time, and risk associated with deploying each change. A repeatable deployment process is important for continuous delivery.
