Explanation
The goal of DevOps in SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) related to automating steps in the pipeline is best described in option A: between Code commit and Release.
In the context of SAFe, the aim is to establish a Continuous Delivery Pipeline where the process from code commit (when developers commit their code changes to a version control system) to release (when the software is made available to end users) is as automated as possible. This automation includes steps like automated builds, tests, and deployments, ensuring that the software is always in a releasable state with minimal manual intervention. This approach helps in achieving faster delivery times, improved software quality, and more efficient and reliable release processes.
