Introduction

Continuous Delivery (CD) is a DevOps practice that is used to deploy an application quickly while maintaining a high quality with an automated approach in a non-production environment. It is about the way application package is deployed in the Web Server or in the Application Server in environment such as dev, test or staging. Deployment of an application can be done using shell script, batch file, or plugins available in Jenkins.
