Automation with Docker for CI Workflows

For Docker Community All Hands 2022

Watch the walkthrough of this repo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZzV6X7XhyI

See this repositories' .github/workflows directory for the below example workflows, ordered by number, simple to complex.

These examples are focused on five of Docker's official GitHub Actions.

These examples are based on three workflow diagrams on progressively more complex automation pipelines:

1. Basic code PR automation workflow
2. Intermediate code PR automation workflow
3. Advanced code PR automation workflow

I also have a LIVE course on learning GitHub Actions for DevOps automation and Argo CD for GitOps-style deployments.

Example Workflows

1. Basic Docker build
2. Adding BuildKit cache
3. Adding multi-platform builds
4. Adding metadata to images
5. Adding comments with image tags to PRs
6. Adding CVE scanning
7. Adding CVE security reporting
8. Adding unit testing
9. Adding integration testing
10. Adding Kubernetes smoke tests
11. Adding job parallelizing for mucho speed
