Automating your software build and release process with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) supports repeatable builds and rapid delivery of new features to your users. You can quickly and easily test each code change, and you can catch and fix bugs before releasing your software. By running each change through your staging and release process, you can verify the quality of your application or infrastructure code. CI/CD embodies a culture, a set of operating principles, and a collection of practices that help application development teams to deliver code changes more frequently and reliably. The implementation is also known as the CI/CD pipeline.
