Improv session - GitHub Workflows

This is the first of many "improv sessions" to come. The format will be casual with minimal PowerPoint and max demonstrations.

Audun will kick off this tradition with an intermediate level session on Github Actions Workflows. The session will take basis in the Terraform framework we are working on together in a Cloud Platform team for the Norwegian Environmental Agency.

We might procure some food for those that meet in-person. For everyone else there is streaming. This will be live-streamed here in our new Youtube channel:

Some of the points we go through will be valid for other IaC languages, or even workflows which are not related to IaC at all.
