Hi Folks, Lately, I was experimenting with GitHub Actions (GHA), as it is a buzzword since General Availability (GA), but I didn’t take time to try it before. GHA was released on GA in November 2019, the main features are: First of all, you will need to create your workflow in the following path : .github/workflows with YML file(s) in your GitHub repository.

In this Terraform example, I’m using GHA to replace my manually deployed (Makefile) MAMIP bot.

I’m using this simple command, equivalent to whoami on AWS CLI to check which IAM Role I’m using. For my sam use-case, I’m using this Action found on Marketplace from TractorZoom, as AWS does not provide any equivalent official GHA yet.
