What is the difference between Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment?

  1. In Continuous Deployment, every change that passes the pipeline is released to production automatically, while Continuous Delivery keeps changes release-ready but needs a manual approval to go live
  2. They are two names for the same practice
  3. Continuous Delivery skips automated testing
  4. Continuous Deployment applies only to mobile apps
Answer and explanation

Answer: A. In Continuous Deployment, every change that passes the pipeline is released to production automatically, while Continuous Delivery keeps changes release-ready but needs a manual approval to go live

Explanation: Both practices keep the software always deployable. Continuous Deployment removes the final manual gate and pushes every passing change to production automatically.
