// DevOps in a Cloud World

In a couple of previous blog posts, I provided a writeup on the GitHub Projects Beta. I wrote two posts on automation within GitHub Projects (Adding Issues to GitHub Projects with GitHub Actions for a user profile and Adding Issues to GitHub Projects with GitHub Actions for an Organization profile). I'm pleased to say that the capabilities went Generally Available last week! As a result of the GA announcement and resulting changes, I need to post updates to my older samples.

GitHub is one of my passion areas. You may have realised that already, with the amount of content that I've written about it. That's only going to continue, because I've recently been hired there as an Enterprise Advocate. I've been supporting customers in their DevOps journey for the past 9 years or so. Interestingly, there are some reoccurring themes that I've found that are common. One of those themes is that DevOps is an App Development concept. In fact, it's something that can be applied across domains (e.g. Infrastructure, Data, etc.) This is the start of a new blog series that will address those common themes, particularly in the context of GitHub.

Chris and Matt set up federated identity credentials (OIDC) for passwordless GitHub Actions authentication to Azure, deploy container apps via CI/CD, and discuss workflow trigger strategies for container image deployments.
