Deployment
Deployment is the process of installing, configuring, and launching software applications, updates, or system components into production environments. It involves various stages, including code compilation, testing, integration, and release management to ensure a smooth transition from development to live operation. Deployment can be manual or automated, with DevOps practices and CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipelines streamlining the process for frequent and error-free releases. Different deployment methods include on-premises, cloud-based, hybrid, and containerized deployments using tools like Kubernetes and Docker. A well-executed deployment strategy minimizes downtime, ensures compatibility, and enhances software performance across different infrastructures.
