The image shows the continuous delivery path for Autonomous Database.

Top area shows the path Development → Continuous integration → Testing → Production (with patching to production scheduled on the weekend)

The path starts with Autonomous issue detection where issues are passed to development. In the development phase, developers interact with the source control system to fix issues.

Next the Release management team schedules fixes in the Continuous integration step. In this step there are ongoing phases of Source synchronization, Build, Test, and Publish for changes.

Fixes are published to Object Store for Deployment. Next the Testing phase pushes changes to Dev/Stable and Pre-production environments. Here, additional testing is performed automated testing suites run.

The next phase after QA signoff, the Ops team deploys changes to a production Object Store and then to production databases.
