GitHub Actions in Action is filled with battle-tested methods for automating delivery pipelines and delivering features faster. DevOps engineers will love the coverage of reliable methods for Infrastructure-as-Code and automating cloud environments. Written by three Microsoft MVPs and tech reviewed by a Staff DevOps Architect from GitHub, this book delivers the hardworking skills and advice you’ll need to be successful on the job.
GitHub is more than just a platform for hosting and sharing code. It has become the beating heart of the open-source community, with millions of developers from all over the world collaborating on projects of every type and size. Founded in 2008, GitHub has since grown to host over 200 million repositories and 100 million users, with a staggering 3.5 billion contributions made in the last year alone.
And now, with GitHub Actions, developers have access to a powerful and flexible toolset for automating their workflows, from Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) to custom automation tasks and beyond. GitHub Actions is much more than just a CI/CD tool – it's a comprehensive automation platform that can help streamline your entire development workflow.
This book will show you how to make the most of GitHub Actions and take your development process to the next level. It is for everyone that wants to learn more about GitHub Actions – from complete beginners to already advanced users that want to bring their knowledge to the next level. You will learn how to use Actions effectively and secure, and it brings a lot of real-world examples for using it for CI/CD scenarios.
