Topics of Discussion:

[2:45] How does Damian describe the landscape between Microsoft and GitHub?

[4:12] What is it about automated development that jazzes Damian up?

[5:57] Damian describes the lay of the land with GitHub Actions.

[10:39] Does GitHub have a package repository?

[14:19] For your build, you can keep them as just artifacts that are for that particular workflow, or you can create a package and put it into one of those package repositories for later retrieval.

[14:25] Damian talks about the transition to deploying to the first pre-production environment in your chain.

[19:12] What do the non-secret variables look like?

[22:09] To what extent is there still overlap from Azure, and how does it deviate?

[26:22] There are two options: there are actions that are in the marketplace, and then you can also run your own scripts.

[30:10] Damian and his team are building around a pretty core experience where you have a project that you’re deploying to multiple environments.

[34:24] How is Octopus Deploy similar? How is it different?
