Mastering GitHub Copilot for DevOps and DevSecOps Engineers

Outline this section's agenda: define generative AI, review examples and usage, cover machine learning basics and model types, and discuss models like GPT, Dall-E, Codex, and why it matters.

Explore the basics of generative AI, from generating images and text to code and music, with examples like Dall-E, ChatGPT, Musenet, and Copilot.

Explore foundational terms of generative AI, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, algorithms, training data, models, and real-world use cases.

Learn what a model is through a cake-baking analogy, covering data collection, algorithm, training, and refinements until the final, deployable model.

Explore tokens and embeddings as the building blocks of AI models, including tokenization methods and how text becomes embeddings fed to neural networks for tasks like deployment generation.

Explore the Codex model behind GitHub Copilot, powered by transformer architecture. Learn how unsupervised and supervised learning train on a vast public code dataset to generate relevant code snippets.

Discover how GitHub Copilot, an AI coding assistant, accelerates DevOps and DevSecOps. Explore features and subscription options that shape coding speed and accuracy.

Explore GitHub Copilot features that provide coding suggestions, multi-language support, debugging, refactoring, security checks, and automatic documentation to accelerate DevOps and DevSecOps tasks.

Discover the free GitHub Copilot subscription with code completion and Copilot chat across major development environments and GitHub.com, using cloud 3.5, sonnet, and OpenAI GPT 40 model.

Explore Copilot Pro's 30-day free trial, offering unlimited code completion and chat in IDEs and mobile. Post-trial, the plan costs $10/month; some enterprise features are unavailable.

Discover the GitHub Copilot business subscription: 19 USD per user per month, with unlimited code completion and prompts, mobile chat, file exclusion, organization-wide policy, and audit logs.

Explore the GitHub Copilot enterprise subscription, featuring unlimited code completion and chats, organization-wide policy management with role-based access control, audit logs, and knowledge bases to tailor suggestions to your standards.

Enable and explore GitHub Copilot free subscription on GitHub.com, manage visibility, and use Copilot to explain code and learn prompt engineering for DevOps and DevSecOps workflows.

Master prompt engineering with GitHub Copilot to generate Docker and Terraform code, starting broad then specific, creating an EC2 instance in us east 2 region with the Amazon Linux AMI.

Explore prompt engineering with GitHub Copilot by using an example before task to extract private IP addresses from a log file with a Python script, focusing on specified IP ranges.

Master prompt engineering with GitHub Copilot by breaking complex tasks into simpler steps to build a ci cd pipeline, add static analysis, security scans, and Kubernetes deployment.

Apply the avoid ambiguity strategy in prompt engineering for GitHub Copilot by asking specific file names, like ci.yaml, in ci cd pipeline, detailing builds and deployments to Kubernetes on main.

Create an end-to-end yaml workflow for a devops and devsecops case study using GitHub Copilot, integrating sonarcloud, snyk, and owasp zap.

Download and examine the Copilot case-study repo, configure GitHub Actions CI/CD; integrate SonarCloud, Snyk, and OWASP ZAP scans; and assemble a single end-to-end workflow with secrets.

Clone the copilot case study repo to a local folder, configure sonarcloud project secrets, and generate an end-to-end GitHub actions YAML for sonar, sneak, and zap scans.

Generate an end-to-end ci cd pipeline in GitHub actions with GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code, integrating sonar, snyk, and zap scans across three yaml workflow files.

Learn how to push end-to-end GitHub actions workflows with Copilot, run security scans like Zap, Snyk, and SonarQube, and fix branch and Java setup issues.
