Oreilly – GitHub Actions in Action, Video Edition 2024-12

GitHub Actions in Action, Video Edition. This course teaches engineers and developers how to create and automate a continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline using GitHub Actions. Focusing on improving team efficiency, this course provides hands-on, real-world project-based training on building, testing, and deploying software. Participants learn how to automate CI/CD tasks and other GitHub operations and secure the release pipeline using secrets, variables, and environments. Topics include supporting compliance frameworks and deploying secure, scalable self-hosted runners. Written by three Microsoft MVPs and reviewed by a DevOps architect from GitHub, this course includes practical recommendations for implementing Infrastructure-as-Code and automating cloud environments. During the course, participants will develop a ticketing application from build to cloud deployment and optimize a complete CI/CD pipeline. As a powerful built-in tool, GitHub Actions reduces the need for external tools and makes automation simple, secure, and reliable. The course starts with simple examples and gradually moves on to more advanced topics such as platform architecture, security, and workflow runtime management. Finally, participants will be able to create shareable actions on the GitHub Marketplace.
