Question about Github Actions Course

DevOps
#1

Hi,

I have a quick question about the Continuous Integration and Deployment with GitHub Actions section (Github Actions Course).

In this lesson, a kubeconfig file is provided to retrieve cluster details, but I couldn’t find a prior step or prerequisite covering how to create or set up the cluster. Since the lesson depends on having a cluster ready, I’m currently stuck. Could you clarify where or how the cluster should be set up?

On a side note, I’m really enjoying the course! A few package versions seem a bit outdated, but the material is otherwise very helpful.

Looking forward to your response.

P.S
I’m studying this course and more relevant courses because i want to work as DevSecOps. If there are any updates for courses for DevSecOps of DevSecOps Learning Path please let me know!

Best regards,
Elior

Setting up a Kubernetes cluster is outside the scope of this GitHub Actions course. Cluster creation and configuring a kubeconfig file are extensive topics in themselves, and they are covered in detail in the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) course.

Hey,
thanks for the answer.
so to finish this course, how I supposed to do it? I mean of i dont have any cluster running

also, what about the DevSecOps Learning path?
thanks

For this lab env, the cluster is already running. You need to use the kubeconfig of that cluster in your actions workflow file.

Our team is finalizing a DevSecOps learning path. IMO, it will extend the DevOps learning path with more focus on Security.

Hey,

Great, thanks! I hope this path aligns well with current market demands for DevSecOps. Do you have an ETA for when it will be available?

In the meantime, I am currently taking the following courses to build my DevSecOps skills-what are your thoughts on this custom learning path?

  • DevOps Pre-Requisite Course

  • Python Basics for Beginners

  • Docker for Absolute Beginners

  • Kubernetes for Absolute Beginners

  • Jenkins For Beginners

  • GitHub Actions

  • Ansible for Beginners

  • Terraform Basics Training Course

  • DevSecOps: Kubernetes DevOps & Security

  • K8s Security

#6

I would recommend starting with the DevOps learning path. As you learn the different technologies and practices across the development and operations lifecycle, focus on understanding how to secure each component and stage of the process. This approach will help you gradually build a strong foundation in DevSecOps rather than treating security as a separate topic.

Hi,
Thanks! Following up on my previous questions regarding the market demand for DevSecOps:

  1. Will this learning path align with current industry demand?
  2. Upon completion, will I be qualified to apply for entry/mid-level DevSecOps roles?
  3. What is the estimated release date (ETA) for this path?

Thanks,
Elior
