Before deploying an application in a DevOps workflow, you must ensure that all required environment variables are set. Missing or incorrect environment variables can cause deployments to fail or behave unpredictably. This challenge will give you hands-on experience simulating such a pre-deployment check using Python. You will create a script that checks if each variable in a required set is present in the environment (for this exercise, you will use a hardcoded dictionary to represent environment variables) and reports whether each one is set or missing. This type of validation is a fundamental step in automating deployment pipelines and maintaining reliable infrastructure.
