Workshop
Leo Visser | Automation with GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps
Azure DevOps, GitHub, Pipelines, Actions, Agentic Workflows, Ci/Cd
Automation for free! That sounds like a dream, but it can be a reality! Both GitHub and Azure DevOps allow for a limited amount of free pipeline runs on their platform.In this full-day workshop, you will learn how to set up pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions to run code, automate tasks, and build real-world automation solutions. We'll start with the fundamentals and gradually build towards advanced CI/CD automations.During this workshop, several different aspects will be covered, including:- Building modular systems so you don’t have to duplicate code
- Working with secrets, certificates, and credentials while keeping them secure
- Creating flexible pipelines and actions using parameters and conditional logic
- Creating reports and files in your automation and storing them correctly
- Using approval gates to introduce governance and control into automated processes
- Building loops that can dynamically process varying numbers of items
- Designing agentic workflows where automation can make decisions, coordinate tasks, and react to changing conditionsThroughout the day, you'll build automation step by step, learning not only how the individual components work but also how to combine them into powerful solutions. By the end of the workshop, you'll understand how to create everything from simple scheduled automations to advanced workflows that can coordinate multiple tasks, systems, and decision points.Some basic knowledge of PowerShell will come in handy, as we’ll use it to write scripts during the workshop, but everything will be explained along the way. The workshop is open to all experience levels. Having access to an Azure subscription (a trial subscription is perfectly fine) is recommended for the workshop!So whether you want to build a CI/CD pipeline, automate recurring tasks, govern deployment processes, or explore intelligent automation, join this workshop to discover what you can achieve with GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps Pipelines.
