A CI/CD pipeline automates building, testing, and deploying code through stages. Design your pipeline to trigger on commits, run tests, and deploy to staging and production using tools like Terraform for infrastructure and Kubernetes for container orchestration, reducing manual configuration errors.

Blue-Green, Canary, and rolling deployments are core strategies. Blue-Green switches traffic between environments instantly; Canary gradually routes to new versions; rolling replaces instances progressively. Choose based on risk tolerance and rollback requirements.

Infrastructure as code (IaC) integrates Terraform or CloudFormation into your pipeline to version-control and automate infrastructure provisioning. Version control IaC templates, validate in CI stages, and deploy automatically to staging and production environments.

Yes, security scanning integrates into CI/CD workflows as a pipeline stage. Scan dependencies, container images, and code before staging and production deployment to catch vulnerabilities early and enforce compliance automatically.

Observability integration monitors code, staging, and production stages post-deployment. Configure logging, metrics, and alerting alongside pipeline stages to detect issues immediately and correlate deployments with system behavior.
