Continuous Deployment

The practice of automatically releasing every change that passes all pipeline stages to production without human intervention.

Definition

Continuous deployment extends continuous delivery by removing the manual release step. It depends on high test coverage, robust monitoring, and safe rollout strategies such as canaries and feature flags.

Example

A merged commit passes tests and is live in production 20 minutes later with no approvals.

Exam tip

If a scenario has no manual gate before production, the answer is continuous deployment.
