The company has three requirements: There must be a legal and a security review of any code change to make sure sensitive information is not leaked through the source code. Every change must go through unit testing. Every change must go through a suite of functional testing to ensure functionality. In addition, the company has the following requirements for automation: Code changes should automatically trigger the CI/CD pipeline. Any failure in the pipeline should notify [e-mail]. There must be an approval to stage the assets to Amazon S3 after tests have been performed. What should a DevOps Engineer do to meet all of these requirements while following CI/CD best practices?
