Promote to production

Question 9

Describe code deployments flow (F&O)

Answer 9

Verified code gets deployed into Tier 2 Standard and UAT environments
Select the release candidate and promote it to production environment

Question 10

Steps to ensure that code flow is correct

Answer 10

1. Check-in code, merge it to test branch
2. Once completed, build the code in Azure/VS DevOps pipeline. The process creates .zip file
3. In LCS, upload .zip file to asset library -> Software deployable package
4. Once the package is in asset library, go to specific environment’s full detail page, click Maintain -> Apply updates
