Cloud & DevOps / MEDIUM
Test your CI/CD automation expertise with 100 practice questions on GitHub Actions workflows, jobs, runners, secrets, Docker builds, and deployment gates.
Validate your continuous integration and continuous deployment expertise with this 100-question CI/CD and GitHub Actions practice exam. Designed for DevOps engineers, platform specialists, and full-stack developers, this assessment evaluates your ability to build, test, and release production software using modern automated workflows.
The questions cover workflow syntax, containerized execution, artifact management, and deployment security:
on: push, on: pull_request, on: release), path filtering (paths, paths-ignore), branch targeting, scheduled cron executions (on: schedule), and manual triggers with input parameters (workflow_dispatch, repository_dispatch).needs, parallel execution, conditional job execution (if: success(), if: failure()), and timeouts.strategy: matrix (testing across multiple Node.js/Python versions and OS targets), matrix exclusions and inclusions, dependency caching (actions/cache for npm, pip, go modules), and fail-fast controls.env); OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud without long-lived access keys; and masking sensitive outputs (::add-mask::).actions/upload-artifact, actions/download-artifact), publishing container images to GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io) via Docker Buildx, and creating automated releases with changelogs.Questions present authentic automation challenges: optimizing a slow 25-minute test pipeline down to 4 minutes with matrix parallelism and cache keys, debugging OIDC role assumption failures in AWS, and preventing pull request builds from untrusted forks from accessing deployment secrets.
