Pipelines

This section contains documentation on GitHub Actions workflows that automate the deployment of resources and applications, code quality checks, and security scanning.

Quick Start for Developers

New to DX pipelines? Start here:

1. Set up code review workflow - Automated linting, testing, and security scanning
2. Deploy applications - Zero-downtime releases to Azure App Service
3. Automate infrastructure - Safe Terraform deployments

Available Workflows

🔍 Code Quality & Security

• Code Review - Comprehensive code quality checks
• Static Analysis - Security and code quality scanning
• Drift Detection - Monitor infrastructure changes

🚀 Application Deployment

• Azure App Service - Deploy web applications and APIs
• Container Apps - Deploy containerized applications
• Static Web Apps - Deploy static sites with CDN
• CDN Deployment - Deploy to Azure CDN

🏗️ Infrastructure Automation

• Infrastructure Planning - Terraform plan and validation
• Infrastructure Apply - Safe infrastructure deployments
• Azure Login - Secure authentication to Azure

🛠️ Build & Package

• Docker Image Build - Build and push container images
• CDN Deploy - Deploy assets to content delivery networks

Getting Started

For Application Teams

1. Choose your deployment target:

2. Set up code quality:

   • Add Code Review workflow to your repository
   • Configure Static Analysis for security scanning

3. Configure triggers:

   • Learn about workflow triggers and branch protection

4. Deploy infrastructure:

   • Set up Infrastructure Planning for pull requests
   • Configure Infrastructure Apply for deployments
   • Enable Drift Detection for monitoring
   • Implement Azure Login patterns
