I’ve read quite a bit about Azure, tutorials etc, the setup for getting apps into the cloud looks quite straight forward. I didn’t read anything about an automation framework like actions though, do they have one?

Does Azure have a workflow type tool as well?

Thanks for the links. That looks interesting, the editor appears to have better support for workflow input forms, which are visible even when you are editing the yml file. I wonder if it has drop down lists as well as text inputs.

According to the marketing material you can run GitHub workflows (actions I guess?) on azure. It looks like they use very similar workflow primitives.

I wonder how that’s going to playout because GitHub is also a Microsoft company now.

Have you used Azure pipelines?
