Announcing GitHub Actions Deployment Protection Rules, now in public beta

Deployment Protection Rules for GitHub Actions offer enhanced control over CI/CD workflows, enabling teams to ensure high-quality, secure applications by enforcing rigorous testing and quality gates before code reaches production. This feature allows developers to create custom rules that can be integrated into deployment processes, fostering collaboration between development and operations teams and leading to faster, more reliable software releases. The public beta, available to GitHub Enterprise Cloud users, includes partnerships with leading service providers like Datadog, Honeycomb, New Relic, NodeSource, Sentry, and ServiceNow, each offering tailored Deployment Protection Rules to integrate monitoring, security, and performance insights into the deployment pipeline. These integrations aim to streamline the development lifecycle, reduce bugs, and enhance code reliability, while also offering the flexibility for users to create bespoke protection rules.
