During February 2025, Michael Gopez developed CI/CD automation for the phac-nml/irida-next repository by introducing a GitHub Actions workflow that triggers an Azure DevOps pipeline on pushes to the main branch and through manual invocation. He implemented this solution using YAML, leveraging GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps to enable automated, repeatable builds and deployments across environments. By configuring GitHub Secrets for sensitive information such as the project URL, pipeline name, and personal access token, Michael ensured secure credential management. This work streamlined deployment processes, reduced manual intervention, and improved traceability, demonstrating a focused application of CI/CD and automation best practices.
