deploy-pipeline

A CI/CD deployment pipeline guides software from local development through Dev, Test, and Prod environments using automated triggers and manual promotion steps. Pushing to main triggers GitHub Actions, followed by validation checkpoints and production rollout approvals.

Production deployment requires health checks and validation checkpoints at each stage. The pipeline implements pre-prod validation and automated checks before manual promotion to ensure deployment stability and enable rollback procedures if issues occur.

GitHub Actions supports environment-specific deployment across Dev, Test, and Prod by triggering CI/CD workflows on push events. The pipeline provides stage-by-stage setup, automated validation, and manual promotion steps for each environment.

Manual promotion steps are needed in a CI/CD pipeline when moving between Test and Prod environments to ensure proper approvals. The pipeline automates validation checks first, then requires manual promotion to gate production rollouts.

Rollback procedures in an automated deployment pipeline provide a recovery path when production deployment fails validation checkpoints or health checks. The pipeline documents stage-by-stage rollback steps to restore previous stable states across environments.

The deployment pipeline supports Azure Container Apps for production rollout through its CI/CD workflow configuration. It covers environment setup, automation triggers, and validation checkpoints specific to containerized deployment scenarios.
