Hi,:
In IETF110 NMRG session, another issue we brought up for Digital Twin Networking Draft is the relationship between Continuous Verification and CI/CD.
It was clarified that Continuous Verification (CV) is an extension of DevOps practices that are concerned with verifying the system as a whole.
CV can be used to address the risk associated to deployment of non-validated updates introduced by the CI/CD models.

Here is the another issue, Digital Twin Network define four key functional blocks, i.e., analyze, emulate, diagnosis, control. How CI/CD or continuous verification is related to these four functional blocks.
It looks Continuous Verification is more related to emulate while CI/CD is related to Control functional block.
This should be clarified in the next version.
