the pipeline hits three real endpoints after the rollout and fails the deploy if any of them is unhappy.
Post-deploy verification
Also calledsmoke test, post-deployment check, deployment verification
Automated checks run against the deployed system immediately after a release, distinct from the tests that ran against the artefact. They catch the class of failure that only exists in the real environment: missing configuration, absent permissions, an unreachable dependency. They are the precondition for automated rollback, because something has to decide the deploy failed.
