CI and CD are among the main pillars of the DevOps life cycle. As the name suggests, continuous integration (CI) is a software development practice where developers commit the code to a version control system several times a day.

Only a failed test would halt your deployment to production. Another thing that is often confused with continuous deployment is continuous delivery, but they are different in reality. In continuous delivery, the main focus is on release and the release strategy and doing the actual deployment to production with approval. It is often termed single-click deployment.
