CI/CD is a DevOps practice that automates software integration, testing, and deployment.

Explanation:

  • Continuous Integration (CI): Developers frequently merge code into a shared repository.
  • Continuous Deployment (CD): Automatically deploys tested changes to production.
  • Tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI/CD automate the process.

Benefits:

  • Reduces integration conflicts by merging code often.
  • Improves deployment speed and software reliability.
  • Ensures faster feedback loops through automated testing.
