Deployment protection rules are used to enforce checks and policies specifically around the deployment of code to environments. You would use a deployment protection rule when you want to ensure that certain conditions are met before code can be deployed. This can include:
- Security Checks: Ensuring that security scans or vulnerability assessments have been completed and passed.
- Approval Processes: Requiring manual approvals from designated reviewers or teams before deployment.
- Integration with External Systems: Verifying that external systems or services have approved the deployment.
