What is this?

GitHub Actions for Azure automates build and release to Azure.

Why should you care?

Manual portal clicks do not scale and are hard to audit.

See it live — copy this example

Use an Azure lab/free subscription. Prefer Azure CLI or Portal. Delete idle App Service plans, SQL DBs, and AKS clusters when practice is done.

# GitHub Actions for Azure
# GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps: build → test → deploy
echo "Pipeline stage notes for GitHub Actions for Azure"

What happened?

  • Write the stage order: restore, build, test, deploy, smoke test.
  • Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

  1. Run the CLI/portal steps in a lab subscription.
  2. Write the resource names you used.
  3. Note estimated monthly cost for the SKU.
  4. Repeat in a second region (conceptually).
  5. Add the resource to a simple architecture diagram.

Remember

You can explain GitHub Actions for Azure simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.
