Lab Steps

01
Pipeline Design

Design a pipeline: lint, test, build image, push, deploy.

02

Build and push Docker images with commit SHA tags.

03
Deploy to Azure

Use Azure CLI in GitHub Actions to deploy to App Service or AKS.

04
Rollback

Implement rollback by redeploying a previous image tag.
