Can I use GitHub Actions instead of CircleCI for continuous deployment on Azure

Step 1: Create a GitHub Actions Workflow File

1. Create a new file named `.github/workflows/azure-deploy.yml` in your repository.
2. Define the workflow using YAML syntax:

yaml
   name: Azure Deploy
   on:
     push:
       branches:
         - main
   jobs:
     deploy:
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Checkout code
           uses: actions/checkout@v2
         - name: Login to Azure
           uses: azure/login@v1
           with:
             creds: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}
         - name: Deploy to Azure
           uses: azure/app-service@v1
           with:
             app-name: <app-name>
             resource-group: <resource-group>
             plan: <plan>
             deployment-slot: <deployment-slot>
   

Step 2: Configure Azure Credentials

1. Create a new secret in your GitHub repository settings:

bash
   name: AZURE_CREDENTIALS
   value: <azure-credentials>
   

Step 3: Configure Azure App Service

1. Configure the Azure App Service in the `azure/app-service` action:

yaml
   - name: Deploy to Azure
     uses: azure/app-service@v1
     with:
       app-name: <app-name>
       resource-group: <resource-group>
       plan: <plan>
       deployment-slot: <deployment-slot>
   

Step 4: Trigger the Workflow

1. Push changes to the `main` branch to trigger the workflow.

By following these steps, you can set up continuous deployment on Azure using GitHub Actions.
