Deployment Automation
Deployment automation moves code from commit to production with repeatable pipelines. This guide connects CI/CD, container releases, and operations on cloud platforms.
Typical release flow
docker build -t app:latest .
docker push registry.example.com/app:latest
helm upgrade --install app ./chart
Automation principles
| Principle | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Immutable artifacts | Same image/chart per environment |
| Automated tests | Catch regressions before deploy |
| Progressive rollout | Canary or blue-green on Kubernetes |
| Fast rollback | Revert via GitOps or previous artifact |
