What is continuous deployment, and why is it an important aspect of DevOps?

Remember to review the job description for technical terms such as automation pipeline, DevOps, continuous delivery, etcetera prior to your interview. It is critical that you understand each of the terms and have the ability to discuss them intelligently in an interview. Senior technical project managers sometimes interview with senior technical resources such as architects or engineering managers and demonstrating the ability to use correct technical vocabulary is critical to a successful interview.

"Continuous deployment is a DevOps process of the automation of deploying solutions to production environments once they pass all of the stages of the automation pipeline process. It is an important aspect of DevOps because it eliminates manual steps that can be labor intensive and it extends the concept of continuous delivery into the production environment and directly to the consumers of the product being released."
