Unleashing the power of GitHub actions for platform engineering

GitHub Actions, GitHub’s pipeline runner feature, can accelerate platform engineering through deployment-based actions. In this talk, you’ll learn how GitHub Actions can provide an easy interface that gives developers lots of deployment controls with no need to directly manage infrastructure as code. You’ll also discover how to get started yourself.
During this webinar, Mick will cover:

• Platform engineering in terms of DevOps maturity and how GitHub Actions can get you to platform engineering faster
• How GitHub Actions can cleanly abstract complex IaC to make it easy for developers to manage deployments
• How to get started with existing deployment actions or how to go about building your own

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.
