In this immersive full-day masterclass, participants will explore the design and implementation of industry-standard CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions. This hands-on training emphasizes best practices, starting with modularized workflows and configuration as code to streamline development processes. Participants will learn how to integrate Docker containers for efficient build and runtime environments, ensuring portability and consistency. The CI process will be fortified with automated security checks, analyzing both code and dependencies to proactively address vulnerabilities. Transitioning to CD, the session covers automated artifact deployment to target environments, incorporating robust security practices for secrets management and runner configuration. Advanced deployment strategies, such as blue-green and canary deployments, will also be explored, enabling participants to implement seamless updates with minimal downtime.

By the end of the masterclass, attendees will possess the practical skills to build modern, secure, and scalable CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions that align with enterprise standards.
