Learning GitHub Actions for DevOps CI/CD - Building Dockers with GitHub Actions

This lecture covers the process of using GitHub Actions to build and deploy Docker containers for a .NET application. It begins with an introduction to containers and the setup of necessary infrastructure on Azure, including a Container Registry and App Service. The lecture then demonstrates creating a .NET application and generating a Docker file using Visual Studio. A GitHub Action workflow is developed to automate the building and pushing of Docker images to Azure Container Registry. The session concludes with a successful deployment and a preview of the next lecture.
