Explanation
Since the Quality Assurance (QA) team must manually verify the web service before it reaches production, the CD pipeline should include two stages: 1. Staging (QA) stage – Deploys the new version for manual verification. 2. Production stage – Deploys the verified version after QA approval. A standard deployment strategy is appropriate because automated testing is not yet in place, and a canary deployment would require automation to evaluate new versions progressively. This approach ensures that manual verification is completed before releasing changes to production while following a structured CD process.
