CI CD with GitHub Actions Workflow - Infra & App Deployment

Generate a Java or Kotlin project via spring initializer, choose Gradle or Maven, build a jar, and run with the Gradle wrapper to prepare deployment on a Kubernetes cluster.

Initialize a Java Gradle project, configure dependencies, and build with Gradle to print hello world, then learn packaging as a jar for deployment with GitHub actions.

Convert the generated Kotlin jar into a Docker image by creating a Dockerfile, building with OpenJDK, exposing port 8080, and pushing to Docker Hub before Kubernetes deployment.

Push and publish a docker image to docker hub by tagging, logging in, and pushing, demonstrating a real-world ci/cd workflow with container registries and deploying to a Kubernetes cluster.

Build the Docker image, push to Docker Hub, and tag it. Deploy to a local Kubernetes cluster with a yaml manifest (kind pod, port 80, tcp) and kubectl apply.

Create a new git repository and push your local code to GitHub, initializing, adding, committing, and pushing to origin on the main branch for a GitHub Actions workflow.

Learn to create and configure a GitHub Actions workflow, define a YAML file in .github/workflows, and trigger continuous integration on pushes and pull requests.

Configure a GitHub Actions CI pipeline to perform a Gradle build of the Kotlin project, verify the Java version, and run Docker checks on a hosted or custom build agent.

Learn to use encrypted GitHub secrets for docker login in actions, including repository, environment, and organization secrets, to build and push docker images in workflows.

Push docker images to docker hub using GitHub Actions, configuring docker login with your docker hub username, and leverage prebuilt actions to build and push, while planning Azure Kubernetes deployment.

Explore deploying a Docker image to an Azure Kubernetes cluster with GitHub Actions, test Azure CLI availability, and implement conditional steps using if always to run subsequent tasks despite failures.

Log into Azure from a GitHub workflow using the Azure login action, injecting client id, client secret, subscription id, and tenant id to enable subsequent Kubernetes deployment steps.

Create an Azure Kubernetes cluster by configuring a resource group, region, availability, and node size, then connect it to GitHub Actions for deployment and verify with kubectl.

Authenticate the Kubernetes cluster from GitHub actions using Azure set-context, then create a new namespace and verify deployment with kubectl commands.

Learn to connect GitHub Actions with Azure Kubernetes service and create a namespace. Deploy a Kotlin app as a container to AKS using a pod manifest and Docker Hub image.

Learn how to split a GitHub Actions workflow into multiple stages within a single job, using needs to sequence build, get the files, and subsequent tasks across environments.

Create a custom task to generate image versions by saving a shortened git sha to GitHub env, then reuse it to tag and push Docker images in subsequent steps.

Automate docker image tagging in GitHub Actions by deriving a unique tag from the GitHub QA variable, then build, push, and verify the tag on Docker Hub.

Create a GitHub Actions workflow to deploy infrastructure on Azure using Terraform, with init and plan steps, offline options, and Azure authentication, enabling infrastructure as code across clouds.

Install terraform on a GitHub runner to enable infrastructure as code deployments with GitHub Actions. Configure a workflow to install terraform, verify version on Ubuntu, and deploy on Azure.

Install terraform and df lint on a GitHub actions runner to enable infrastructure as code, update versions, and validate pipelines for the infrastructure and the Kotlin app.

Create a simple terraform config to deploy an azure resource group using terraform init within a GitHub Actions workflow, including outputting the resource group location.

Authenticate GitHub Actions with Azure using secrets for Azure AD client id, client secret, subscription id, and tenant id to run Terraform plan and apply.

Learn to run Terraform via GitHub Actions using the Terraform GitHub action, configure init, fmt, and plan, manage Azure authentication, and troubleshoot workflow errors.

Use Terraform via GitHub Actions, with conditional execution on main, to deploy infrastructure and manage resources, with formatting, plan/apply/destroy steps, and iterative fixes.

Configure a production environment with reviewers and a wait timer to require manual approval in GitHub Actions, approving or rejecting deployments to production.
