👉 Automating Monthly .NET Patching with GitHub Actions and dotnet-outdated
With the productivity and performance benefits developers gain from using modern .NET over .NET Framework, also comes the less-exciting flip-side - patching the version of .NET in production environments every month to keep your applications secure. Keeping up-to-date with security and reliability fixes is an important ongoing activity within software development, but it’s not very exciting, and it can be easy to fall behind - what if we could automate the process of patching our applications? In this talk, we’ll explore how we can use the flexibility of GitHub Actions together with tools such as dotnet-outdated to automatically patch .NET applications on a monthly basis with minimal manual effort.
