Overview of this book

This practical guide to DevOps uses GitHub as the DevOps platform and shows how you can leverage the power of GitHub for collaboration, lean management, and secure and fast software delivery. The chapters provide simple solutions to common problems, thereby helping teams that are already on their DevOps journey to further advance into DevOps and speed up their software delivery performance. From finding the right metrics to measure your success to learning from other teams’ success stories without merely copying what they’ve done, this book has it all in one place. As you advance, you’ll find out how you can leverage the power of GitHub to accelerate your value delivery – by making work visible with GitHub Projects, measuring the right metrics with GitHub Insights, using solid and proven engineering practices with GitHub Actions and Advanced Security, and moving to event-based and loosely coupled software architecture. By the end of this GitHub book, you'll have understood what factors influence software delivery performance and how you can measure your capabilities, thus realizing where you stand in your journey and how you can move forward.

Security hardening your release pipeline

CI/CD pipelines are complex and have a big surface to attack. Basically, release pipelines are remote code execution environments and should be treated like this with caution (see Haymore A., Smart I., Gazdag V., Natesan D., & Fernick J., 2022 for some attack examples).

Model your pipelines with caution and follow best practices, especially when you are building highly customized ones. It's better to ask for external help than to be sorry if it is too late.

Secure your runners

If you use GitHub-hosted runners, it's their job to keep them safe. The runners are ephemeral, and every execution starts in a clean state. But you execute code that can access your resources in GitHub, including secrets. Make sure to security-harden your GitHub Actions (see the Secure your Actions section) and limit permissions for GitHub_TOKEN (workflows should run with the least-possible privileges).

Self-hosted runners run in your environment...
