GitHub Actions has transformed the way teams build, test, secure, and deploy applications directly from GitHub. From simple automation to fully-fledged CI/CD pipelines running on Kubernetes, GitHub Actions enables you to ship software faster, safer, and with confidence.
This hands-on, project-driven course takes you from absolute zero to production-ready CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions. You won’t just learn YAML syntax — you’ll implement real-world pipelines involving testing, security scanning, Docker builds, container registries, self-hosted runners, Kubernetes deployments, Helm, Selenium testing, reusable workflows, and custom GitHub Actions.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to design, build, optimize, and scale CI/CD pipelines the same way modern DevOps teams do in real production environments.
What makes GitHub Actions powerful:
- Native CI/CD built directly into GitHub
- Event-driven workflows (push, PR, schedule, manual triggers)
- Massive Actions marketplace
- Managed runners + self-hosted runners
- Kubernetes-native scaling with Runner Controllers
- Excellent support for modern DevOps and GitOps workflows
This course helps you unlock all of that — step by step.
Special Note
Every concept is taught through real code and real pipelines. You’ll work with hosted and self-hosted runners, set up ARC on Kubernetes and learn patterns used in enterprise DevOps. By the end, you won’t just use GitHub Actions – you’ll run it like it’s done in production.
