To interact with Azure services, you will need to use specific Azure Actions for GitHub. These actions are provided by Microsoft and can be found in their official GitHub repository: https://github.com/Azure/actions

GitHub Actions for Azure: This GitHub Action allows developers to automate tasks on the Microsoft Azure platform. With this action, developers can easily integrate Azure services into their workflows, such as Azure Functions, App Services, and Kubernetes. This can help streamline DevOps workflows by automating tasks such as deployment, testing, and scaling on the Azure platform.

The GitHub Actions for Azure repository is where you can find the latest and greatest information on the official GitHub actions available to deploy your workloads to Azure using GitHub. You can of course search for these in the GitHub marketplace as well!

GitHub Actions for deploying to Azure

GitHub, as one of the leading web-based Git repository hosting service, provides a powerful suite of CI/CD tools in the form of GitHub Actions. These are directly integrated into the platform which empowers developers to increase the speed, efficiency and reliability of delivering products. In this brief article, we will take a look at what CI/CD is, why we should use it, as well as some of its applications in my projects.

GitHub Actions is a modern CI/CD tool integrated natively on GitHub. Itenables the rapid automation of build, test, deployment, and other custom workflows on GitHub with no need for external tools.

GitHub Actions is GitHub's CI/CD solution. You can use it to run automated tasks each time you change your code. Although the platform lacks a built-in Kubernetes integration, third-party plugins such as Azure's Deploy to Kubernetes Cluster action can automate deployments and manage different rollout strategies.

GitHub Actions is a feature-rich CI/CD platform embedded within GitHub, enabling developers to automate, customize, and execute software development workflows directly in their repositories. An Action inside GitHub Actions is a discrete unit of automation that performs a specific task within a workflow. All the Actions are reusable, and there are many to choose from. You can even create your own reusable ones.

The real power of using PHP code-quality tools is when it’s added to your continuous integration process, which means it automatically checks the code every time someone makes a push or pull request to your project repo. In this section, we'll be looking at how to do just that. GitHub actions is available for free so we'll use it for demo purposes. Note that there are some limits to private repos, so set your test repo to public if you can.

You can even automate the running of this script — hence the directory name automation — to happen every time the data changes, using GitHub Actions.

You might remember that I’ve been taking an interest in GitHub Actions for the last year or so (I even wrote a book on the subject). And at the Perl Conference in Toronto last summer I gave a talk called “GitHub Actions for Perl Development” (here are the slides and the video).

Preevy is designed to be easily run in CI/CD workflows, such as GH Actions, Circle CI and others.
