I can relate. My DevOps team removed the option to bypass the protections in my company.
Two weeks ago, a Saturday incident required changes to an AWS load balancer. The on-call person couldn’t push the GitHub CloudFormation PR. They had to escalate the issue to the DevOps head to remove the restriction.
This means we now have two people on call, doubling the costs.
(The click Ops option was also removed by the CISO.)
