The application authoritative release package (in green below) declares the image versions to be deployed to the infrastructure provided by the IaC release package.
In this example, the application release pipeline only deploys to the development environment to verify the package, and then pushes to the artefact store
The package, based on it’s semantic version is pulled from this store at deploy time, based on the solution manifest, CDAF.solution
