Infrastructure changes still happen by hand, one click at a time.
CI/CD pipelines and release automation set up so infrastructure and application changes are repeatable, reviewed, and reversible.
What Automation & DevOps covers
Automation & DevOps is about CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and release discipline that replaces manual, one-click-at-a-time changes with something repeatable and reviewable. This page covers pipelines and release automation; provisioning infrastructure itself through code now has its own dedicated domain.
