GitHub Actions with AWS
Implement secure, scalable CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions and AWS. Use OIDC authentication to eliminate static credentials, build reusable workflows, and deploy infrastructure and applications seamlessly.
GitHub Actions Capabilities
Modern CI/CD features for secure AWS integration, workflow automation, and scalable deployments using GitHub-native tools.
OIDC Authentication (no static keys)
Configure OpenID Connect integration between GitHub Actions and AWS IAM. Eliminate long-lived access keys and secret management by using short-lived tokens for secure authentication.
- IAM OIDC identity provider setup
- Trust policy configuration for repos
- Short-lived token-based authentication
- No secrets stored in GitHub
Reusable Workflows
Create modular, reusable workflow templates that can be called across multiple repositories. Standardize deployment patterns, reduce duplication, and maintain consistent CI/CD practices.
- Shared workflow templates across repos
- Parameterized inputs for flexibility
- Composite actions for reusable steps
- Centralized workflow maintenance
Matrix Builds & Parallel Jobs
Run tests and builds across multiple configurations simultaneously. Test different Node versions, operating systems, or environments in parallel to speed up CI/CD pipelines and ensure compatibility.
- Multi-version and multi-platform testing
- Parallel job execution for speed
- Dynamic matrix generation from API
- Conditional matrix execution strategies
AWS CDK/Terraform Deployment
Automate infrastructure deployments using AWS CDK, Terraform, or CloudFormation in GitHub Actions workflows. Implement plan and apply stages with approval gates for production changes.
- CDK synthesis and deployment automation
- Terraform plan and apply workflows
- CloudFormation stack deployment
- State management and drift detection
Container Build & Push (ECR)
Build Docker images in GitHub Actions and push to Amazon ECR. Implement multi-stage builds, layer caching, and vulnerability scanning before pushing images to your container registry.
- Docker build with BuildKit support
- ECR login and image push automation
- Multi-platform image builds
- Image vulnerability scanning integration
Self-Hosted Runners on EC2
Deploy self-hosted GitHub Actions runners on EC2 instances for better performance, cost control, and access to VPC resources. Implement auto-scaling runner fleets for high-volume workloads.
- EC2-based runner deployment and setup
- Auto-scaling runner groups with ASG
- VPC access for internal resources
- Custom runner images with pre-installed tools
