Model Promotion
An alias selects a model version; deployment makes it serve traffic. Promotion needs defined acceptance criteria, authorization, and a verified recovery path.

Switching traffic back is fast. It does not un-write what the new version already wrote, which is the part worth planning for.
Promotion preserves artifact identity and earlier test records. Data, infrastructure, configuration, and traffic differences still need validation.
Connect the release version to retained content, and record the dependencies and runtime needed to install and verify that artifact.
Keep the release artifact tied to its checks. A matching source revision alone does not establish that staging and production run the same software.
Understand deployment as putting a selected release into an execution environment, with validation, rollout, and rollback.
A passing test only describes what was deployed if the same artifact moves through every environment. This guide covers config, secrets, gates, validation and rollback.
