Why each option
In CI/CD, "continuous" signifies frequent, automated, repeatable, and fast processing across the software delivery pipeline.
CI/CD fundamentally relies on automated processes, not manual ones, to achieve speed and repeatability.
CI/CD aims for frequent, not periodic, releases and relies on automation, not manual processes.
The term "continuous" in CI/CD implies that code changes are integrated, tested, and potentially deployed very frequently, often multiple times a day. This process relies heavily on automation to ensure repeatability and speed, leading to fast processing and rapid feedback cycles.
CI/CD emphasizes frequent, not periodic, releases to ensure rapid iteration and feedback.
