Conclusion

Continuous integration and continuous delivery provide an ideal scenario for your organization’s application teams. Your developers simply push code to a repository. This code will be integrated, tested, deployed, tested again, merged with infrastructure, go through security and quality reviews, and be ready to deploy with extremely high confidence.

When CI/CD is used, code quality is improved and software updates are delivered quickly and with high confidence that there will be no breaking changes. The impact of any release can be correlated with data from production and operations. It can be used for planning the next cycle, too—a vital DevOps practice in your organization’s cloud transformation.
