What happens if a deployment fails?

When a deployment fails, it typically requires a manual intervention to restart the process. This is because automated systems are designed to prevent unintended consequences that might arise from simply retrying a failed deployment without assessing the underlying issues that caused the failure in the first place. Manual intervention allows the team to analyze logs, identify errors, and make necessary corrections before attempting to redeploy, ensuring a more controlled and reliable process.

While option B, which mentions generating a report, is a helpful follow-up action in many deployment scenarios, it does not address the practical steps that need to be taken to remedy the failure and move forward.

In contrast, automatic restarts or cancellations without human oversight can lead to further issues, especially if the root cause of the deployment failure is not addressed. Thus, relying on a manual restart process emphasizes the importance of thorough examination and remediation in deployment practices.
