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

The video tutorial explains the importance of using parameter files in workflows to manage multiple parameters efficiently. It covers setting up a directory structure for different environments, using parameter files in JSON format, and testing the workflow using GitHub Actions. The tutorial also discusses optimizing Bicep files by breaking them down into smaller files for better manageability and readability, especially when dealing with complex infrastructures.

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

• To ensure parameters are hardcoded

• To reduce the number of parameters in the workflow

• To increase the complexity of the workflow

• To make the workflow less readable

What is the purpose of creating a directory structure for different environments?

• To make the code more complex

• To prepare for future deployment requests

• To avoid using parameter files

• To limit the number of environments

What is the role of a parameter file in deploying a template?

• To store unrelated data

• To provide values for template parameters

• To increase the number of templates

• To make the deployment process slower

How do you integrate a parameter file into a workflow?

• By using a different programming language

• By ignoring the parameter file

• By adding the file location in the workflow

• By hardcoding the parameters in the workflow

Why might you choose to keep a parameter in the workflow itself?

• To increase the number of parameters

• To make the workflow less efficient

• To demonstrate multiple methods of implementation

• To avoid using parameter files

What is the benefit of breaking down a large infrastructure file into smaller files?

• It makes the file harder to read

• It increases the file size

• It simplifies management and readability

• It reduces the number of resources

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

• It is easier to manage

• It simplifies the deployment process

• It can become difficult to navigate

• It reduces the number of resources
