A Linux administrator is implementing a strategy to enhance security within the company's CI/CD pipeline. The new process involves automatically running a static code analysis tool each time a developer pushes code to the repository. Which DevSecOps concept does this practice best represent?
The correct answer is "Shift-left testing". This is a core DevSecOps practice of moving security testing and validation to the earliest possible point in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). By automatically analyzing code for vulnerabilities immediately after a commit, security becomes a proactive part of development rather than a reactive step before deployment.
GitOps is an operational framework that uses Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications; it does not specifically describe the timing of security tests.
A canary deployment is a release strategy where a new application version is gradually rolled out to a small subset of users in a production environment, which occurs much later in the process.
Deployment orchestration refers to the broader automation and management of the entire application deployment workflow, not the specific practice of early security scanning.
