Testing locally, I agree with. Deployments, I think it'd be fair to consider the requirements. At work, our softare can be tested locally but deployments are all registered against a central authority, and after a point of composing enough access requirements, only then does a role (cicd in this case) have enough policy allowance to perform a deployment. The entire transaction is auditable. And I think that with a deployment, that's how it should be; allowing that trust down to a local environment strikes me that too much permission is accured with a single entity. I guess that we could better define what a deployment is; to some nonprod environments I'd agree, but I'd still probably insist on the heavy machinery up at the test, perf, qa, areas, and then getting into staging and prod, there'd be no wiggle room.
