What is the difference between continuous delivery (CD) and continuous deployment?

Continuous delivery requires manual testing, while continuous deployment automates all testing.

Continuous delivery automates the release process up to the point of deployment, while continuous deployment automatically deploys every change to production.

Continuous delivery is only used for mobile apps, while continuous deployment is only used for web apps.

Continuous delivery is the same as continuous integration, while continuous deployment is the same as continuous delivery.
