Hi Milan, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and am totally enthusiastic. That's why I immediately became a Patreon member to support your excellent work - and of course to have access to your source code 😉. With your targeted and concise way you fill exactly the knowledge gaps that certainly very many of us (I mean experienced developers especially in enterprise area) currently - still - have, without going to the absolute beginner level every time. I know what I am talking about, I have been in the business for over 30 years. Above all, this saves numerous trial & error rounds and thus precious time. You get a very good foundation from which you can then go deeper. Your short videos were in many cases already much more valuable and substantial for me than many an hour-long tutorial in Pluralsight, Udemy or here in KZbin. It assumes a lot of knowledge and also practical experience. But that's what makes your content so valuable for many developers. Straight to the point, the essential knowledge, perfect! Every minute of your videos is worth its weight in gold. Your speed is no problem at all, thanks to KZbin. 😊 Please keep doing exactly what you're doing. I'm already really looking forward to what's to come. It will be a feast! Cheers, Felix.

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

Hi Felix, I had a rough day yesterday and saw your comment in the evening. It's an understatement to say that you cheered me up a little. 😊 I really appreciate your kind words, and promise to keep on making good videos (and improving with each one). Stay awesome!

the best explanation about CI/CD Pipeline using GitHub Actions! Thanks Milan 🙂

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

My pleasure!

[@sidhantverma]

Nice Video Millan. Following the same series, how about next on CI/CD using Azure DevOps with different environments and their respective appsettings/keyvaults configurations? 😊😊

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

I'll think about it, not a bad idea

[@mylesdavies9476]

I would welcome something similar or just general guidance on dealing with multiple environments and how this is managed within the code / config

[@surya779]

Thanks for this Video. I subscribed and liked your video. Do you have one for running tests and seeing the coverage as you mentioned in this video?

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

I recorded one this week, but it won't come out until a few weeks from now :) Though I was using the ReSharper code coverage tool. You can also use SonarQube for that.

[@valy_berea]

I use Resharper and DotCover for seeing that in the IDE. I wanted to be able to see it in some report on the build so therefore in the github action workflow running the tests on a PR for example. Thank you for your videos. They are simple and to the point so that you get something working and then just develop from there according to your needs.

What do you prefer? Publishing as "code" or a docker container? I'm sure it's easier to develop locally using docker, but does it make a difference when deploying to azure?

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

You can deploy an image and run it inside a container

[@matthewrossee]

@@MilanJovanovicTech When would you decide to deploy an image instead of the code approach in the video? I know the advantages of docker when running locally, as well as deploying it to hosting services that don't have native .NET support, so you just spin up the container. But on azure?

Hi Milan, thank you for the awesome toutrials, I almost watched all your youtube videos in a couple days I have a question on CI/CD, can I apply the same steps to publish web API project into virual machine and that app hosted on IIS? Currently, I'm publishing the app manually using visual studio, can I apply the same GitHub aciton to publish it instead of manually doing it, because visual studios uses publish profile as well to publish into VM Thank you, keep being awesome

[@MilanJovanovicTech]

The last step is using a GitHub action the deploy to Azure. You will need something different to deploy to IIS. Maybe this can be helpful: devopsjournal.io/blog/2020/11/24/github-actions-with-private-runner-iis
