Can you explain what is meant by automated application deployment?

Automated application deployment is a process where the installation, configuration, and updating of software are performed automatically using scripts or special tools, without manual intervention. This allows for faster delivery of new versions, reduces the number of errors, and ensures repeatability of the process.

For example, in Java projects, tools like Jenkins, Ansible, or Docker can be used to automate the building, testing, and deployment of applications on a server.
