Environment Promotion

Moving the same tested artifact through successive environments such as dev, test, staging, and production.

Definition

Promotion uses configuration per environment while keeping the artifact unchanged. Gates and tests at each stage increase confidence before production.

Example

Image tag 1.8.0 is promoted from staging to production by updating the prod overlay in Git.

Exam tip

Promote artifacts, do not rebuild them per environment.
