CI/CD Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment

Explore continuous integration, delivery, and deployment, showing how regular code commits trigger automated tests, keep software deployable, and enable rapid releases to production.

Automate your software development with GitHub actions by using workflows, triggers, and actions to build, test, and deploy on code changes or schedules.

Use starter workflows in GitHub Actions to automate CI tasks by detecting language from file extensions and running tests, builds, and deployments. Customize to save time and ensure consistency.

set up continuous integration for a JavaScript project using GitHub actions, with clean npm ci installs, build, and tests across Node.js versions 16, 18, and 19.

Explore how to compile code into packages and publish them to registries, using language-specific formats like JAR, gems, npm, NuGet, and Docker images, with GitHub Actions.

Discover how to set up continuous delivery for container images using GitHub actions, including a Python app, a docker file, and CI/CD workflows that publish the container.

Explore how to deploy software with GitHub Actions by creating deployment environments like production and staging, configuring rules, secrets, and concurrency for continuous deployment.

Implement continuous deployment for static sites with GitHub pages by converting markdown with Jekyll or deploying static HTML, using GitHub Actions and a live username.github.io/repo URL.

Master continuous deployment of container images to AWS App Runner, using ECR and app.yaml, with staging automatic deployments and production manual deployment across two App Runner services.

Create an AWS ECR repository, push Docker images via GitHub Actions, and automate staging and production deployments using App Runner with environment variables and secrets.

Explore Terraform, the open source infrastructure as code tool, to define and provision cloud resources with declarative HCL, using providers, state management, and execution plans, and immutable infrastructure.

Explore how continuous deployment works with infrastructure as code using Terraform to plan, apply, and store state in an s3 bucket, with production branch protections and GitHub step summaries.

Explore how to implement ci/cd with Azure DevOps and prepare Git, Visual Studio Code, SonarCloud, and your Azure Portal and Azure DevOps accounts.

Define assets in the library by creating variable groups, storing key-value credentials, and routing them into pipelines, with optional linking to Azure Key Vault for secrets and access controls.

Configure a ci pipeline in Azure Pipelines by selecting the dotnet core build, reviewing the yaml, and running a manual run that fails due to no Azure subscription.

Integrate SonarCloud with an Azure DevOps pipeline by preparing analysis configuration, integrating with msbuild, running code analysis, and publishing quality gate results to improve code quality.

Explore Azure Pipelines task groups, a reusable set of tasks that can be shared across build and release pipelines to promote consistency, visibility, updates, and YAML and classic pipeline integration.

Create and configure a task group in Azure Pipelines, convert hardcoded parameters to variables, and reuse the group in new pipelines with environment and service endpoint settings.

Simulate ci triggers and branching policies by committing an updated caption, pushing, and completing a pull request to observe artifact publishing across main and feature branches.

Create dev, qa, and production web apps in Azure using portal, resource groups, dotnet six on Windows, and the free F1 plan, to support ci/cd release pipelines.

Configure a multistage release pipeline for continuous deployment by linking build artifacts to an Azure App Service, deploying to dev, QA, and production environments, and verifying success in the portal.

Configure pre-deployment approvals in the ci/cd release pipeline, set an approval timeout, and align policies so the artifact can progress from development through qa to production after approval.
