Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to build and deploy cloud-based applications using continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) pipelines in a range of contexts. It includes using each stage of the CI/CD automation process to build, test and merge applications, specifically in cloud-based environments.The unit applies to individuals who may work in a variety of roles, including software engineers, cloud engineers and test automation engineers responsible for automatically delivering code changes to customers.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
