Protecting release artifacts in the release phase

DevOps processes are about speed and agility. The aim is to remove obstacles that could slow down the speed to market. It is not unusual for code changes to move from a developer’s workspace to the production environment within minutes, mainly driven by automation and with few manual checks. It is impressive to read about the deployment figures from organizations that are more mature in their DevOps practices. For example, Netflix maintains over 600 services in production and does around 100 deployments a day; Uber operates over 1,000 services in production with several thousand deployments weekly; WeChat has more than 3,000 services in production and manages approximately 1,000 deployments daily!
