Introduction

Release Automation is the cornerstone of modern Software Delivery. Well-established CI/CD pipelines are fundamental to every organization that wants to embrace DevOps/GitOps methodologies in order to achieve:

• Frequent, rapid release cycles.
• Fully automated deployment and rollback based on deployment strategies (Rolling Updates, Canary Releases, Blue/Green deployment).
• Continuous-integration with automated testing.
• More resources devoted to automated testing than manual testing.

The benefits of CI/CD for businesses undoubtedly should be the first priority no matter what kind of ‘Agile’ or other methodology is used for project management. Articles like Benefits of Continuous Integration for Businesses and IT Teams or Why the World Needs CI/CD, explain the importance for all stakeholders.
