Cloud CI/CD with GitHub Actions Course. This course teaches you how to design, build, and optimize complete cloud CI/CD pipelines from basic to advanced levels using GitHub Actions. This hands-on workshop explores application patterns that can be used in all programming languages and helps users design a complete CI pipeline from scratch. The learning process is structured so that attendees start with the first workflow and move on to more complex concepts such as Matrix Builds, Caching, Composite Actions, Reusable Workflows, and OIDC-based Cloud Authentication. Along the way, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot, remediate, and scale automation systems so that by the end of the course, you’ll be confident enough to design production-ready workflows for any project. This course goes beyond simple setup and focuses on tools and techniques for senior engineers. Students will learn how to manage their automation code so that the platform architecture remains maintainable and optimized as projects grow. Security in the pipeline is a top priority, with concepts like Scoped Secrets and environment protection rules explored in detail. This course is a comprehensive reference for migrating software development processes to the highest standards in the cloud, explaining the continuous integration and deployment process in a simple and understandable way.
What you will learn
- Senior Engineering Tools: Master the core building blocks of GitHub Actions including Events, Workflows, Jobs, Steps, and Runners to read and write any type of pipeline with complete confidence.
- Build scalable pipelines: The ability to create scalable CI platforms using matrix builds, caching, composite actions, and reusable workflows that remain maintainable as projects grow.
- Automation Security: Harden the software supply chain using OIDC-based cloud authentication, restricted passwords, and deployment protection rules.
- Troubleshooting and Error Correction: Learn standard methodologies for debugging pipelines and optimizing test execution speed and automation processes.
This course is suitable for people who:
- Software developers who want to automate their application development and deployment processes with GitHub Actions.
- DevOps engineers looking to design, implement, and scale modern and secure cloud pipelines for organizations.
- Technical professionals who want to move from basic concepts to advanced automation techniques.
- Anyone who is familiar with the basics of Git and the command line environment and wants to improve their skills in CI/CD.
