Continuous Delivery’s primary benefit is that it reduces the cost, time, and risk of delivering
incremental changes. By keeping software deployable at all times, teams can ship small, low-risk
releases as needed.
A: Prioritizing features over deployability increases risk.
B: Not all releases are deployed immediately; CD keeps them ready.
D: CD doesn’t automate everything—some manual steps may remain, especially in Continuous
Delivery (vs. Continuous Deployment).
Extract-style reference:
“Continuous Delivery reduces deployment pain by ensuring that code is always in a deployable state,
decreasing the cost, time, and risk associated with releases.”
