Chapter 9: Deploying to Any Platform
Now that you have learned how to use GitHub Actions as an automation engine and GitHub Packages to easily share code and containers, we can complete our Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) capabilities by automating deployments.
In this chapter, I'll show you how to easily deploy to any cloud or platform in a secure and compliant way.
In this chapter, we will cover the following main topics:
- Staged deployments
- Automating your deployments
- Infrastructure as Code
- How to deploy to Azure App Service
- How to deploy to AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS)
- How to deploy to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)
- Measuring success
