Continuous delivery is a software development practice where code changes are automatically built, tested, and prepared for a release. The document discusses the prerequisites, artifacts, and process for continuous delivery from development to testing environments. Key aspects include infrastructure setup using tools like AWS OpsWorks, committing code to branches for different environments, updating configuration scripts, and deployments that are automated, tracked, and can rollback on failure. The goal is to continuously deploy changes through environments with integration and testing at each stage.
