Learning GitHub Actions for DevOps CI/CD - Developing GitHub Actions Workflow for Infra Deployment – Part 2

The video tutorial explains the use of parameter files in workflows to manage multiple parameters efficiently. It covers setting up a directory structure for different environments, editing parameter files using Visual Studio Code, and testing the workflow by deploying it to Azure. The tutorial also discusses optimizing large bicep files by breaking them into smaller, manageable files for each resource type, enhancing readability and maintainability.

What is the main reason for using a parameter file in a workflow?

• To increase the number of parameters in the workflow

• To reduce the number of parameters in the workflow

• To make the workflow more complex

• To eliminate the need for parameters

Why is it beneficial to create a directory structure for different environments?

• To reduce the number of environments

• To accommodate future deployment requests

• To make the code more complex

• To eliminate the need for parameter files

What is the purpose of adding content to the JSON parameter file?

• To pass values to the template

• To make the file unreadable

• To delete all variables

• To ensure the file is empty

What is the first step in testing the workflow?

• Deleting the workflow

• Running the workflow

• Ignoring the workflow

• Modifying the workflow

What is a potential issue with having a single large infrastructure file?

• It is easier to manage

• It reduces the number of resources

• It simplifies the deployment process

• It can become difficult to navigate

How can large infrastructure files be managed more effectively?

• By ignoring the file size

• By deleting unnecessary resources

• By breaking them into smaller files for each resource

• By combining all resources into one file

What is the benefit of having multiple smaller files for each resource type?

• It complicates the deployment process

• It reduces the number of resources

• It makes the infrastructure less readable

• It allows for easier management and updates
