Scrum, DevOps and Continuous Delivery (Release on Demand)

Continuous Delivery (Release on Demand) definition

• Continuous Delivery is a software delivery practice similar to Continuous Deployment except a human action is required to promote changes into a subsequent environment along the pipeline.

Continuous Delivery (Release on Demand) purpose

• Continuous Delivery is the aim of keeping the system “Production Ready” during development to enable the release of a product to the end user on demand.

Continuous Delivery (Release on Demand) practice

• Continuous Delivery (Release on Demand) must be used in DevOps.
  • Continuous Delivery helps to move away from the activity of preparing and making software Production Ready.
  • Instead the Developers make sure that the software is always “Production Ready”.
  • Continuous Delivery doesn’t mean every change is deployed to production ASAP.
  • It means every change is proven to be deployable at any time.
