GitHub Actions to AWS EKS using OIDC | Complete CI/CD Pipeline | No Access Keys | Step-by-Step

🚀 *GitHub Actions to AWS EKS using OIDC | Complete CI/CD Pipeline | No Access Keys | Step-by-Step* In this video, you'll learn how to build a *production-ready CI/CD pipeline* by integrating **GitHub Actions with Amazon EKS using OIDC (OpenID Connect)**—without storing AWS Access Keys or Secret Keys in GitHub. This is the AWS-recommended authentication approach for securely deploying applications to Kubernetes running on Amazon EKS. 📌 *What you'll learn:* ✅ What is OIDC and why AWS recommends it ✅ GitHub Actions vs GitHub OIDC Provider ✅ Create an OIDC Identity Provider in AWS IAM ✅ Create an IAM Role for GitHub Actions ✅ Understand Trust Policy in detail ✅ Configure IAM Permission Policy ✅ Configure EKS Access Entry / aws-auth ✅ Push Docker images to Amazon ECR ✅ Deploy applications to Amazon EKS ✅ Complete end-to-end GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline ✅ Common interview questions and production best practices ✅ Troubleshooting common OIDC and EKS deployment issues --- 📂 *GitHub Repository (Complete Source Code):* 👉 https://github.com/aruncloudopspro/Gh... --- 🛠️ *Technologies Used* GitHub Actions AWS IAM OpenID Connect (OIDC) Amazon EKS Amazon ECR Docker Kubernetes kubectl AWS CLI YAML CI/CD Pipeline --- 💡 *Why use OIDC instead of AWS Access Keys?* ✔ No long-lived AWS credentials ✔ Temporary security credentials ✔ Better security ✔ Production-ready authentication ✔ AWS recommended approach --- 🎯 This video is perfect for: DevOps Engineers Cloud Engineers Platform Engineers Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) Kubernetes Administrators AWS Engineers Students preparing for DevOps interviews --- 📚 Watch until the end to understand the complete authentication flow: GitHub Actions → OIDC → IAM Role → AWS STS → Amazon ECR → Amazon EKS --- 👍 If you found this video helpful: ✅ Like ✅ Share ✅ Subscribe ✅ Turn on notifications for more AWS, Kubernetes, DevOps, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, and Production Engineering tutorials. 📌 Connect with me: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/palampallearun GitHub: github.com/arunpalampalle LinkedIN: www.linkedin.com/in/palampallearun #GitHubActions #AWS #EKS #OIDC #Kubernetes #DevOps #Docker #CICD #AmazonEKS #AmazonECR #CloudOpsPro #AWSDevOps #PlatformEngineering #SRE #CloudComputing
