CI CD with GitHub Actions Workflow - Infra & App Deployment

🌟 CI/CD with GitHub Actions Workflow: Master Infra & App Deployment! 🌟

Automate your workflow from idea to production

GitHub Actions is your all-in-one solution for automating everything from building and testing your code to deploying it with ease. With GitHub Actions, you can:

• �ocker Automate the build process: Set up automated CI/CD pipelines that build container images and push them to Docker Hub.
• 🚀 Deploy web services: Whether it's a Java or Kotlin application, deploy it with GitHub Actions to cloud environments like Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
• 🔗 Integrate all your tools: Connect your favorite tools—deployment platforms, ticketing systems, and package managers like Jira or npm—to streamline your workflow.
• 🛠️ Customize and execute workflows: Create, discover, and share custom actions tailored to any job you'd like, including CI/CD, within your repository.
• 🚦 Easy as pie: Whether you're new to GitHub Actions or looking to deepen your knowledge, this course will guide you through using GitHub Actions to expedite your application development workflows.

No theory, just hands-on learning with real-world examples!

Here's what we'll dive into:

1. Introduction to GitHub:

   • 💳 Pricing: Understand the different plans and what fits your needs.
   • Getting Started: An overview of what GitHub is all about.

2. CI/CD for Application Deployment:

   • ⚓️ Setting up a Java application directory and preparing it for CI/CD.
   • Building your project using Gradle, and pushing the Docker image to Docker Hub.
   • Defining your workflow in github-action.yaml within the repository.

3. Building and Deploying Kotlin App on GitHub Actions:

   • 🐙 Perform a Docker build on the runner.
   • Configure Github Secrets for Docker login.
   • Use conditional logic to handle job success/failure.
   • Inject secrets with Azure Login Action Task.
   • Set up an Azure Kubernetes Cluster (AKS).
   • Deploy to AKS using GitHub Actions.

4. Real-world practices:

   • Utilize GitHub Action tasks for Docker tasks.
   • Create a custom task to generate image versions dynamically.
   • Leverage needs and outputs to create a flexible workflow.
   • Implement multi-staged jobs for complex deployment scenarios.

5. Build & Deploy Infrastructure on Azure:

   • Install Terraform and TFLint on the runner.
   • Create a Terraform configuration file and initialize it.
   • Manage GitHub and Azure authentication through Secrets.

By the end of this course, you'll have a solid understanding of how to automate your application development workflow using GitHub Actions, from the initial commit to deployment. You'll learn best practices for both application deployment and infrastructure as code on Azure, all through hands-on examples and real-world use cases.
