Complete GitHub Actions Course - From BEGINNER to PRO

Learn GitHub Actions to enable your teams to build and ship software faster! 🏗️ ⚙️ 🚀 This course covers everything from the fundamentals of the platform through building out a DevOps system complete with workflows to test, build, and deploy a microservice application! --- Thank you to Namespace (https://namespace.so/?utm_source=devo...) for sponsoring this course. It is because of their support that I am able to provide it to the community free of charge! Namespace provides: Drop-in hosted GitHub Action runners that accelerate jobs while reducing cost (often by changing just a single line in your configuration). Blazing-fast caching layers that keep dependency installs snappy. Remote Docker builders for dramatically quicker container image builds. Deep observability with insights into job timing and resource utilization you simply can't get in GitHub's native UI. If you end up using Namespace, use the link above and let them know you found out about them through me! --- Written Course: https://courses.devopsdirective.com/g...
