CD, continuous delivery often contrasts with continuous deployment – both aim to automate the deployment process of software.

CD is one of the key practices of DevOps.

CD is a software release approach where teams release software in short cycles, frequently. It enables building, testing, and releasing of software quickly and efficiently, encouraging ‘continuous change’ and feedback-driven culture.

It’s changing the traditional, time-taking method of releasing software and fosters agility and quality as important benchmarks.

Best CD Tools:

  • TeamCity
  • Octopus Deploy
  • CodeShip
  • Ansible
  • AWA CodeDeploy
  • GitLab
  • VSTS
