Who Should Join This Program?

Built for anyone who ships code and wants GitHub Actions to ship it for them.

DevOps Engineers who want to move from Jenkins to GitHub Actions

Cloud Engineers working with AWS, Azure, or GCP deployments

Developers who want to automate build, test, and release workflows

Students preparing for CI/CD and DevOps interviews

Jenkins users who want to learn modern repo-native automation

Anyone who knows GitHub but has not implemented production pipelines

Traditional CI (Jenkins)
Provision Server
Install Plugins
Write Script
Deploy
Four manual steps before code ever ships.
GitHub Actions
Push Code
Workflow Runs
Deploy
Zero setup — the workflow is the pipeline.
Who's Already Shipping With It
DevOps Engineers — build, test & release
Cloud Engineers — AWS, Azure & GCP infra
Platform / SRE — deployments standardized
AI/ML Engineers — training & deployment

Jenkins needed a server.
GitHub Actions needs a push.

That gap is why it's spread past DevOps teams. The same YAML file that deploys a service is now how cloud teams roll out infrastructure, how platform teams standardize releases across dozens of repos, and how AI/ML teams automate model training and deployment — which is exactly what this program is built to teach, starting with the file itself.

What You Will Learn

Nineteen modules, taught the way GitHub Actions is actually used in production.

A Separate Program: DevOps Engineer

GitHub Actions builds you a pipeline.DevOps Engineer Program builds you the whole product.

Go beyond CI/CD alone. In the DevOps Engineer Program you replicate the actual job of a DevOps engineer — designing, deploying, and operating a complete product: 6 microservices, a live UI, real production release deployments, and DevSecOps pipelines integrating multiple security and quality tools, end to end.

The File Behind That Shift

No slides-only theory — we read and write the actual workflow file line by line.

.github/workflows/deploy.yml
RawBlame
1 name: Deploy to Production
2 on:
3 push:
4 branches: [main]
5 jobs:
6 deploy:
7 runs-on: ubuntu-latest
8 steps:
9 - uses: actions/checkout@v4
10 - uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v4
11 with:
12 role-to-assume: ${{ secrets.AWS_ROLE }}
Line 3Triggers the workflow automatically on every push to main — no manual kick-off.
Line 7Spins up a clean, disposable virtual machine for every single run.
Line 9Pulls your repository code onto the runner using an official GitHub action.
Line 10–12Authenticates to AWS via OIDC — no long-lived access keys stored anywhere.

You Won't Just Learn YAML. You'll Build Real CI/CD Pipelines.

Every project below ships as a working .github/workflows file you keep.

real-time-projects
7 jobs
Frontend/Backend CI Pipeline
Automated build and test workflow triggered on every push and pull request.
Docker Image Build & Push Workflow
Build a container image in CI and publish it automatically.
Custom GitHub Action Development
Build and publish your own reusable action for other workflows to consume.
Cloud Deployment Using OIDC
Authenticate to AWS, Azure, or GCP with zero stored credentials.
Environment-Based Approval Workflow
Gate production deploys behind required reviewers.
Self-Hosted Runner Pipeline
Run jobs on your own infrastructure instead of GitHub-hosted runners.
Reusable Workflow Implementation
Package a workflow once, call it from every repo.

Approvals Before Production, Every Time

See how a workflow pauses for human sign-off before it ever touches your Kubernetes cluster — the same environment protection rules you'll configure yourself.
