A government agency is modernizing its network to support a new citizen portal. The agency has a strict change-management process that requires all changes to be approved by a review board. The network team wants to implement automation to speed up deployments, but the review board is concerned about the risk of automated changes. Which approach should the network architect recommend to address the review board's concerns?

Use automation only for read-only monitoring and reporting, and keep manual processes for changes.

Automate all changes and rely on automated rollback in case of issues.

Use automation only for low-risk changes, such as configuration backups, and keep manual processes for all other changes.

Implement automation with a pre-approval workflow that integrates with the change-management system.
