Release
A version made available for use. For software, release version names that version. A release of a service, with no software version, leaves the version empty. The same release can be deployed more than once and into more than one environment. A release is not a deployment, not a build, and not an environment. It is not a sprint. A feature flag can change what users see of a release that is already deployed, without making another release.
