• Creates a build matrix for the jobs
• Define different variations of the
environment
• Run the job on build matrix at the same
time.

Using GitHub Actions to Deploy your Workloads to Azure
- 1. Using GitHub Actions to Deploy Your Workloads to Azure Kasun Kodagoda Technical Lead | 99X Technology https://kasunkodagoda.com ♥
- 2. I am, Kasun Kodagoda • In ♥ with Azure & Azure DevOps • Active Blogger – https://kasunkodagoda.com • Open Source Contributor - https://github.com/kasunkv • Technical Lead I Work For, • Established in 2004 • Headquartered in Sri Lanka with offices in Europe and Australia • Providing high quality, high value Software Product Engineering + R&D services
- 3. Agenda • Basics of GitHub Actions • Core Concepts • GitHub Actions for Azure • Demo
- 4. What are GitHub Actions • Made up of individual tasks called Actions • Collection of actions performs a certain activity • This collection is called a workflow These Workflows helps you automate your software development activities in the same place where you store your source code
- 6. Action • Smallest building block of a workflow • Individual task that performs a specific activity in a workflow • Two Types of Actions • JavaScript Actions - Hosted on a public repository • Docker Actions - Hosted on a public docker registry
- 7. Artifacts • Output of a workflow • Can include, • A set of files (e.g. files of a web app) • Test results • Log files • Screenshots etc. • Can be shared with other jobs or be deployed
- 8. Event • Activity that can trigger a workflow run • An event can have multiple activity types • Could be any GitHub event • push • pull_request • create • delete • issue_comment • created • edited • deleted https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows
- 9. Job • Set of steps that gets executed on the same runner. • In a single workflow, there can be multiple jobs • Can have dependencies between jobs in a workflow file - job_1 - job_2 - job_3 job_2 can depend on job_1. job_3 can depend on jod_2
- 10. Job Strategy • Creates a build matrix for the jobs • Define different variations of the environment • Run the job on build matrix at the same time. strategy: matrix: node: [6, 8, 10] steps: - uses: actions/setup-node@v1 with: node-version: ${{ matrix.node }}
- 11. Workflow • Configurable automated process • Contained in the repository • In .github/workflows directory • Made up of one or more jobs • Triggered by an event or a schedule • Described in a YAML file • Must contain at least one job
- 12. Workflow Run • Instance of a workflow • Runs when the trigger event occurs • E.g. pull_request, push • You can see; • Execution logs • Status and results • Artifacts
- 13. Runners • GitHub hosted virtual environments that run workflows • All 3 major OS platforms are supported • Windows - Runs Windows Server 2019 - windows-latest or windows-2019 • Linux - Runs Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 - ubuntu-latest or ubuntu-18.04 and ubuntu-16.04 • MacOS - Runs MacOS Catalina 10.15 - macos-latest or macos-10.15
- 14. Runners – ctd. • Two types of runners available • GitHub Hosted • Automatically updated • Managed and maintained by GitHub • Clean instance for every job execution • Free minutes/rates will be applied depending on the plan • Self-Hosted • Local or any cloud infrastructure you own • You pay for your own infrastructure • You can customize with hardware, software & tools you want • No need to have a clean instance for each job execution • No rates are applied, free to you. • You need to maintain your environments
- 15. Runners – ctd. • Linux and Windows VMs are hosted in Azure • Standard_DS2_v2 sku • Based on the Azure Pipelines Agent • MacOS VMs are hosted in MacStadium https://help.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/about-self-hosted-runners
- 16. Usage Limits • Job Execution Time • GitHub Hosted – 6 hrs • Self-Hosted – Unlimited • Workflow Run Time • GitHub Hosted, Self-Hosted – 72 hrs • Job Queue Time • GitHub Hosted – Not Applicable • Self-Hosted – 24 hrs • Job Matrix • GitHub Hosted, Self Hosted – Max. 256 Jobs per workflow
- 17. Usage Limits – ctd. • API Requests • 1000 Requests per Hour • Across all actions for a single repository • Both GitHub Hosted and Self-Hosted. • Concurrent Jobs Plan Total Concurrent Jobs Max. Concurrent macOS Jobs Free 20 5 Pro 40 5 Team 60 5 Enterprise 180 50
- 18. GitHub Marketplace • Central location to find GitHub Actions • Created by official organizations and the community • Accessible through the workflow editor
- 19. GitHub Actions for Azure
- 20. GitHub Actions for Azure • Set of actions to access Azure Services • Azure cloud resources • Azure Pipelines builds and releases • Deploy workloads to Azure cloud from workflows • Some of the widely used Azure services are accessible • More on the way
- 21. Connecting to Azure • Azure Login • azure/login • Authenticate to Azure using a service principle • Azure CLI • azure/cli • Configures the runner with the latest or specified version of the Azure CLI • Run Azure CLI scripts to manage Azure Resources
- 22. Azure Web Apps • Azure Web App • azure/webapps-deploy • Deploy your web site artifacts to Azure Web Apps • Azure Web App for Containers • azure/webapps-container-deploy • Deploy your web app, packaged as a container to Azure Web Apps. • Azure App Service Settings • azure/appservice-settings • Configure App Settings and Connection string on Azure App Service .
- 23. Azure Function Apps • Azure Functions • azure/functions-action • Deploy your serverless code to an Azure Function App • Azure Functions for Containers • azure/functions-container-action • Deploy your custom container image to Azure Functions App.
- 24. Azure Kubernetes Services • Kubectl Tools Installer • azure/setup-kubectl • Installs specific version of kubectl on the runner • AKS Set Context • azure/aks-set-context • Set the Kubernetes cluster context on AKS • Kubernetes Deploy • azure/k8s-deploy • Deploy manifests to the Kubernetes cluster
- 25. Azure Kubernetes Services – ctd. • Setup Help • azure/setup-helm • Installs specific version of Helm on the runner • Kubernetes Create Secret • azure/k8s-create-secret • Create secret on Kubernetes cluster • More Actions… • https://github.com/Azure/actions#deploy-to- kubernetes
- 26. Azure Databases • Azure SQL Databse • azure/sql-action • Deploy DACPAC and SQL Scripts to Azure SQL Database • Uses a connection string to authenticate • Azure MySQL Database • azure/mysql-action • Deploy MySQL databases using SQL Scripts • Uses a connection string to authenticate
- 27. Few More… • Azure Pipelines • azure/pipelines • Trigger Azure Pipeline run as part of the workflow • Docker Login • azure/docker-login • Push containers to Docker Hub or Azure Container Registry • Get Secret from Azure Key Vault • azure/get-keyvault-secret • Fetch one or more Key Vault secrets. https://github.com/Azure/actions
