GitHub Copilot for DevOps

In this workshop, we'll focus on how DevOps engineers can leverage GitHub Copilot for typical DevOps tasks, simply and easily. We'll discuss how Copilot Chat can be used to drive creating specifications and infrastructure for use with Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Kubernetes.

By the end of the workshop, participants will understand where, when, and how GitHub Copilot can be used to accelerate being productive with these DevOps apps.

Join speaker, author, and former DevOps director Brent Laster for a fast-paced, hands-on session to understand how you can put GitHub Copilot's AI capabilities to work in common DevOps scenarios. With only a GitHub id and a browser, you'll be able to leverage a full IDE environment in GitHub Codespaces without installing anything on your own system. Each lab will focus on a different technology and guide you through creating simple examples that you can extrapolate to larger, production efforts.

You'll need to bring a laptop and already have an account and access to the public GitHub.com to do the labs.

We look forward to seeing you in the workshop!
