Devops GitHub Actions + AWS Integration | OIDC Authentication,S3 Deploy & CodeDeploy Hybrid Pipeline

Description

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate GitHub Actions with AWS to build a complete CI/CD pipeline — without storing any AWS access keys. We'll cover workflow structure, OIDC-based keyless authentication, deploying to S3, and combining GitHub Actions with AWS CodeDeploy for advanced deployment strategies. 📌 What You'll Learn: ✅ What GitHub Actions is, CI/CD built directly into GitHub ✅ How GitHub Actions workflows work: triggers, jobs, steps & runners ✅ Workflow triggers: push, pull_request, schedule (cron), workflow_dispatch ✅ GitHub Actions vs AWS CodePipeline — choose the right tool for your team ✅ Old way vs Modern way: Static keys vs OIDC (OpenID Connect) ✅ Step-by-step OIDC setup: IAM Identity Provider + IAM Role with trust policy ✅ Real demo: Deploy a static site to S3 using GitHub Actions ✅ Hybrid CI/CD: GitHub Actions for build/test → AWS CodeDeploy for blue-green deployment 🔐 Why OIDC Matters: - No long-lived AWS access keys stored in GitHub secrets - GitHub receives temporary credentials via AWS STS - Credentials expire automatically — no rotation needed - Restrict access per repository and branch using trust conditions 🔧 AWS Services Covered: - AWS IAM – OIDC Identity Provider and role-based access - AWS STS – Temporary credential issuance - Amazon S3 – Static site deployment target - AWS CodeDeploy – Advanced deployment strategies from GitHub ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🙍🏻‍♂️ Support this Channel by becoming YouTube Member ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Join Here: https://www.youtube.com/@dheeraj-choudhary/membership ➡️ Like 👍 if this helps ➡️ Subscribe 🔔 to learn more about Docker Essentials ➡️ Drop your questions in the comments 💬 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 00:53 – What is GitHub Actions? 4:00 – Workflow Structure: Triggers, Jobs, Steps, Runners 8:00 – GitHub Actions vs AWS CodePipeline 11:00 – Authentication: Old Way (Keys) vs Modern Way (OIDC) 15:00 – OIDC Setup: IAM Identity Provider + Trust Policy 20:00 – Hands-On Demo: Deploy to S3 with GitHub Actions 27:00 – Hybrid Pattern: GitHub Actions + AWS CodeDeploy 🔔 Subscribe for weekly AWS, DevOps, and Cloud tutorials! 👍 Like this video if it helped you understand CI/CD clearly. 💬 Comment below: Are you new to DevOps or leveling up your AWS skills? #aws #cicd #devops #awsdevops #CodePipeline #CodeBuild #CodeDeploy #CodeCommit #cloudcomputing #learnaws #devopsengineer #cloudengineering #awsbeginner #continuousintegration #continuousdeployment #linux #dheerajchoudhary #dheerajtechinsights
