How did John ensure that deployments remained consistent across dev, staging, and production environments?

Inconsistent configurations caused bugs in production. To address this, John leveraged Azure DevOps YAML pipelines with reusable templates and parameterization. He also incorporated Python scripts to generate dynamic variables and Shell scripts for database schema updates. These tools ensured that all pre- and post-deployment activities were executed uniformly, eliminating discrepancies between environments. John achieved consistent deployments across environments by leveraging reusable YAML templates, dynamic scripting, and automated processes.
