Summary

This concludes Chapter 7. In this chapter, you have been shown a simple example of CI/CD pipeline code, written as a GitHub Actions workflow. After being exposed to CI/CD pipeline syntax, you now have a fundamental understanding of the way that pipelines are composed and how they can be versioned. This means that you are equipped with the ability to read, write, and comprehend pipeline files and can determine what activities occur within each step therein. Additionally, you have been shown how to provision AWS infrastructure using ClickOps. By leveraging this foundational knowledge, you are poised to build your skills and move toward advanced infrastructure deployment strategies, namely IaC. Not only that, but you have gained essential knowledge that is needed to configure the backend of GitHub Actions. As a result of these activities, you can now prepare end-to-end workflows that cover DevOps release management principles such as testing, building, and deploying applications...
