-## CI/CD Definitions
-
-### Pipelines
-
-A pipeline is a group of [builds] that get executed in [stages] (batches). All of
-the builds in a stage are executed in parallel (if there are enough concurrent
-[runners]), and if they all succeed, the pipeline moves on to the next stage. If
-one of the builds fails, the next stage is not (usually) executed.
-
-### Builds
-
-Builds are runs of [jobs]. Not to be confused with a `build` stage.
-
-### Jobs
-
-Jobs are the basic work unit of CI/CD. Jobs are used to create [builds], which are
-then picked up by [Runners] and executed within the environment of the Runner.
-Each job is run independently from each other.
-
-### Runners
-
-A runner is an isolated (virtual) machine that picks up builds through the
-coordinator API of GitLab CI. A runner can be specific to a certain project or
-serve any project in GitLab CI. A runner that serves all projects is called a
-shared runner.
-
-### Stages
-
-Stages allow [jobs] to be grouped into parallel and sequential [builds]. Builds
-of the same stage are executed in parallel and builds of the next stage are run
-after the jobs from the previous stage complete successfully. Stages allow for
-flexible multi-stage [pipelines]. By default [pipelines] have `build`, `test`
-and `deploy` stages, but these can be defined in `.gitlab-ci.yml`. If a job
-doesn't specify a stage, the job is assigned to the test stage.
-
-### Environments
-
-Environments are places where code gets deployed, such as staging or production.
-CI/CD [Pipelines] usually have one or more deploy stages with [jobs] that do
-[deployments] to an environment.
-
-### Deployments
-
-Deployments are created when [jobs] deploy versions of code to [environments].
