This document discusses principles of Continuous Delivery (CD) and DevOps. It defines CD, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Deployment. The goal of CD is to have software ready for release at any time by building and testing it frequently. CD relies on principles like keeping everything in version control, automating processes, and having all team members share responsibility for software delivery. CD is enabled by practices like uniform build pipelines, test automation, and deploying changes frequently through production-like environments. CD requires a cultural shift and collaboration between development and operations.
