After this training day you can build GitHub Actions workflows, connect them to Azure with the required security principals and run a load test with Azure Load Testing automatically on every deployment. You keep test files in the repository, analyse the results and stop a release when response times or error rates are off. The course suits developers and DevOps engineers who are comfortable with GitHub and want to catch performance problems before users notice them.
What you’ll take away.
- Build GitHub Actions workflow files and control how they run
- Connect GitHub Actions to Azure with the right security principals
- Create an Azure Load Testing resource and keep test files in the repository
- Add load tests to the workflow and use the results as a quality gate
Your training in detail

Agenda: from understanding to application
Our independently developed agenda proposal. Focus areas, lab environment and scope are agreed before booking.
GitHub Actions: workflow structure, triggers, jobs and execution control
GitHub Actions for Azure: sign-in and required security principals
Azure Load Testing: creating the resource and configuring a load test
Storing test files in the repository and calling the service from the workflow
Analysing results and setting failure criteria for deployments
You extend a web app workflow so that a load test runs after every deployment, and make the pipeline fail when response time or error rate cross a threshold.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an exam for AZ-2006?
Not at the moment. Microsoft has delayed the related Applied Skills assessment, but the learning content is available.
How is this different from a general GitHub Actions course?
GitHub Actions is the tool here, not the subject. The focus is on automated load tests against Azure applications and evaluating them within the workflow.
Does AZ-2006 Automate Azure Load Testing by using GitHub: automating load tests in GitHub Actions include a certificate?
Microsoft has delayed the release of the related Applied Skills assessment, and according to Microsoft Learn no date has been confirmed yet. The course therefore ends without an exam. This is not an official Microsoft course unless the offer states otherwise.
