CI/CD
Abbreviation for Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery
In short and in plain language
CI/CD is a set of steps for changes to software.
The changes are built, tested and delivered by themselves.
This often needs login details and keys. They are stored in the setup.
Looking after them and keeping them safe is part of the upkeep.
Definition
CI/CD describes workflows that build, test and deliver software changes automatically. They often use credentials and keys that are stored in the environment. Maintaining and securing them is therefore part of maintenance.
