TMA-GITLAB-5.1.2
Ensure changes in deployment configuration are audited
Description
Audit and track changes made in deployment configuration. Deployment configuration is sensitive in nature. The tiniest mistake can lead to downtime or bugs in production, which consequently may have a direct effect on both product integrity and customer trust. Misconfigurations might also be used by malicious actors to attack the production platform. Because of this, every change in the configuration needs a review and possible "revert" in case of a mistake or malicious change. Auditing every change and tracking them helps detect and fix such incidents more quickly.
