How does the deployment procedure of an application or system begin?

The deployment procedure of an application or system usually begins with preparing artifacts — building the application or container images. Then the following steps are performed:

1. Environment readiness check — ensure that the target infrastructure is available and configured.

2. Artifact transfer — upload or copy the built files to servers or to the cloud.

3. Configuration setup — set environment parameters, variables, secrets.

4. Start the deployment process — run scripts or tools (e.g., Ansible, Jenkins, Kubernetes) that install and launch the application.

5. Success verification — test functionality and monitor.

Thus, the procedure begins with environment preparation and verification, followed by artifact transfer and application installation.
