# Releases (Templates and Runs)

Releases (Templates and Runs) refer to a structured approach in software deployment and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.\
\
**Templates:** A "Template" serves as a predefined configuration that outlines the steps and parameters for deploying applications or updates. It ensures consistency and repeatability across multiple deployments.\
\
**Runs:** A "Run" is an instance of executing a Template, representing an actual deployment event where the specific configurations and tasks outlined in the Template are carried out. This helps to streamline the release process, improve reliability, and reduce errors in software deployment.
