Answer Example
"The development teams I worked on as an engineer focused on continuous delivery standards. As a part of that process, we used a number of continuous deployment tools over the years. I have experience deploying code with GitLab. We were early adopters of that solution. I have also used Octopus Deploy. I was not directly responsible for deployments in my last role as a project manager, but the teams I worked with used AWS Code Deploy."
