I'm a newbie to MLOps and abit confused about the use and the implementation of staging and testing environment in the mlops-stack template. 

as far as I understand the staging environment is where we run the integration test. But in the ci-cd pipeline the integration_test is deployed and run the test target. And in the staging environment it deploys the all the workflow without running them. why is that? I'd appreciate any explanation.
