DevOps and CI/CD: Moving from Code to Production with Quality

DevOps combines collaboration, automation, and monitoring to shorten the path from code to operation. Continuous Integration runs tests, quality checks, vulnerability scans, and builds traceable artifacts for every change.

Continuous Delivery deploys to a production-like environment, then uses controlled approvals and canary or blue-green releases. Keep secrets outside repositories, sign artifacts, record versions, and make rollback fast. Measure deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, recovery time, availability, and latency.
