Exercise – building CD pipelines and a release train
In the GitHub repository, we will find the following prebuilt GitHub workflows to manage the life cycle of our development project, end to end:
- Set up a dev environment GitHub workflow: Located under

At the end of the workflow, we can see additional steps that grant System Administrator rights to our work account and to the service principal that we created for the production environment earlier. Let’s execute this workflow with the following parameters:
