^{This repo is a starting point for using GitHub Actions YAML files to automate cloud infrastructure, building source, unit-testing source, deploying source and running external integration tests.}

This is a simple GitHub Actions YAML for Azure Deployments GitHub Actions for Azure

This repository relates to the following activities:

• Deploy Enterprise-scale Architecture Landing Zones
• Deploy Azure cloud infrastructure
• Building source with dotnet build
• Unit-testing source with dotnet tests
• Deploying source to cloud infrastructure
• And running external integration tests
