Build and Push Secure Artifacts to Azure Container Registry with GitHub Actions
In this Hands-on lab you will configure a pipeline for secure, automated container builds for a microservices application in Azure. You'll connect GitHub Actions to Azure using workload identity federation and enforce guardrails with code scanning and branch protection. You’ll then create the necessary GitHub secrets and configure a GitHub Actions workflow that builds and pushes container images to Azure Container Registry (ACR). Upon completion, you will create a protected pull request to merge to the protected branch, wait for code scanning to complete, merge to run the build-and-push pipeline, and then verify images are visible in ACR.

Real skill practice before real-world application
Hands-on Labs are real environments created by industry experts to help you learn. These environments help you gain knowledge and experience, practice without compromising your system, test without risk, destroy without fear, and let you learn from your mistakes. Hands-on Labs: practice your skills before delivering in the real world.
Learn by doing
Engage hands-on with the tools and technologies you’re learning. You pick the skill, we provide the credentials and environment.
Follow your guide
All labs have detailed instructions and objectives, guiding you through the learning process and ensuring you understand every step.
Turn time into mastery
On average, you retain 75% more of your learning if you take time to practice. Hands-on labs set you up for success to make those skills stick.
