What is the difference between CI and CD? | Cyber Square

(both are commonly accepted, but the first is clearer in formal writing)

If you're looking for a brief explanation too:

CI stands for Continuous Integration — it refers to the practice of frequently integrating code changes into a shared repository, followed by automated testing.

CD stands for either Continuous Delivery or Continuous Deployment — both involve automatically delivering integrated code to production, but:

Continuous Delivery means the code is ready for deployment but requires manual approval.

Continuous Deployment means the code is automatically deployed to production without manual steps.
