This document discusses GitHub Actions for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). It provides an overview of GitHub Actions, why they are useful, core concepts, and pricing. The key points are: GitHub Actions allow automating workflows from development to production using Linux, Windows, and macOS runners. They offer built-in secrets management, matrix builds, multi-container testing, and live logs. Pricing is free for public repositories and includes a generous monthly allowance for private repositories. The presenter then demonstrates GitHub Actions in a live demo.
