Automated Release

Automated release refers to the process of automatically deploying and distributing software or software updates to end-users or target environments without manual intervention. It is a critical aspect of modern software development and release management.

Some key aspects of automated release include:
1. Continuous integration (CI),
2. Continuous delivery (CD),
3. Deployment pipelines,
4. Release triggers,
5. Rollback mechanism,
6. Deployment automation tools,
7. Configuration management,
8. Monitoring and feedback, and
9. Security considerations.

By implementing automated release processes, development teams can achieve several benefits, including faster and more reliable software releases, reduced manual errors, improved collaboration among team members, and the ability to respond quickly to changing requirements and customer feedback.
