Release on Demand enables organizations to release value to customers whenever the business needs it by decoupling deployment from the release decision.
What is the key distinction between 'deployment' and 'release' in SAFe DevOps?
Answer: Deployment puts code in production; release makes features visible and available to users
Deployment moves code to production infrastructure while release is the business decision to make features visible and available to end users.
Which mechanism allows features to be deployed to production but hidden from end users until a deliberate release decision is made?
Answer: Feature toggles (feature flags)
Feature toggles allow code to be deployed and even tested in production while remaining invisible to end users until deliberately enabled.
