Module 7: Secure CD (Continuous Deployment)

Deploying to production is a high-stakes move. You need safety rails.

Step 1: Environments

GitHub Environments allow you to define protection rules, like manual approval gates and secret scoping.

Mission: Update your workflow.yml to specify that a job runs in the production environment.

Mission: Add a concurrency group to your deployment job.
