Automating CI/CD on AWS with GitHub Actions

Learn how organizations using GitHub as a source code repository can use GitHub Actions to build a complete CI/CD pipeline for applications deployed in the cloud. We’ll take a basic Flask web application and show attendees how to create the cloud infrastructure to host the web app, run the build, and run the application tests. Then, we’ll set up a GitHub workflow that will check the build and test status and if successful, will then deploy the application to a container using Amazon Elastic Container Service. Attendees will leave with an understanding of the importance of using continuous integration and continuous deployment/delivery, a sample code repository, and instructions to try on their own.
