WHY — CI/CD instead of guessing?

Why interviewers care about CI/CD:

This is a process

question about CI/CD.

Panels listen for order,

trade-offs, and what you would actually do on a MLOps project - not buzzwords.

Stay structured

Name the idea, why it exists, then one short example.

Close cleanly

End with when you use it and one common pitfall.

STEPS — What happens step by step?

Before you speak the answer, walk the interviewer through these steps:

  1. 1
    CI runs tests on

    code and sometimes data validation.

  2. 2
    CD deploys models or

    pipelines with approval gates.

  3. 3
    I version both code

    and model artifacts together.

  4. 4
    Give an example

    One tiny concrete case you can say aloud.

  5. 5
    Common mistake

    What juniors usually get wrong.

  6. 6
    Close

    When you pick this over the alternative.
