Github Actions for DevOps

[singhkumud]

Hi,

For customers having Microsoft Azure, they have the option to use Github as source code repo.

Is there a view around using Github Actions for setting up CI/CD pipelines?

Is Microsoft ADO recommended over Github Actions for DevOps practices while doing developments?

If any reference is provided, would be great. Thanks!

Same position than your previous message related to GitHub future strategy.
You can use the CI/CD from the 2 platforms as you prefer, but using MS Azure DevOps will give you many features coming fast from MS and partners.
Az DevOps Pipeline management can also integrate the CI/CD advanced usage with Azure Cloud Components, kubernetes, containers, ...
So if you did not create anything yet in GitHub, and looking where to create or implement your first CI/CD process, it's probably better to start directly with Az DevOps.
You will also benefit all chaining logic implemented into each DevOps modules (Boards, Repositories, Pipelines, Test, artifacts, ...)
