looks really interesting. official page and beta sign up: https://github.com/features/actions
Easily build, package, release, update, and deploy your project in any language—on GitHub or any external system—without having to run code yourself.

Interesting! Didn’t see GitHub going in this direction

Yea, signed up for the beta. Hope they release invites quickly.

Wonder what all the GitHub partners think about this

CI/CD is the biggest commercial vertical in the GitHub ecosystem

If you could bring your own PaaS to that - ECS etc. then it would be very compelling. I feel lots of companies underestimate how hard it is to manage the orchestration of a high volume container platform with a varied array of tasks being run on top of it. Look at the CircleCI status page for an example.
An outage to a build pipeline is a blocker that wastes quite a bit of money if a company is pushing at a reasonable velocity.

The Michael DeHaan (ansible creator) released a new CI tool today called vespene: https://vespene.io/

hi @Dombo
![Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) avatar](https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2018-06-13/382332470551_54ed1a5d986e2068fd9c_72.jpg)
we use this tool http://somanymachines.com/fargate/
![Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) avatar](https://avatars.slack-edge.com/2018-06-13/382332470551_54ed1a5d986e2068fd9c_72.jpg)
not an orchestrator, but easy to use for deployments
![Dombo avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/338d9d2b82632562db254e7f0f7cbc1f.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0010-72.png)
Interesting - have you found much overhead compare to using a managed CI service? Also I suppose you lose support for the pipelines as code pattern with this? i.e. no build manifest.yml/json ?

yea, the fargate
cli not a complete e2e alternative
![Dombo avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/338d9d2b82632562db254e7f0f7cbc1f.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0010-72.png)
Good to see alternatives exist
![Dombo avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/338d9d2b82632562db254e7f0f7cbc1f.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0010-72.png)
Well - good to hear honest people talking about using alternatives
![Dombo avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/338d9d2b82632562db254e7f0f7cbc1f.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0010-72.png)
Have had a pretty good experience with Circle - only a few limitations bug me
![Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/88c480d4f73b813904e00a5695a454cb.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0023-72.png)
the story is that that the fargate
cli was written by an engineer at AWS to show the ECS team what kind of cli tool users want
![Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/88c480d4f73b813904e00a5695a454cb.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0023-72.png)
to make it as easy as using heroku
![Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/88c480d4f73b813904e00a5695a454cb.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0023-72.png)
so far, aws hasn’t taken him up on the suggestion!
![Dombo avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/338d9d2b82632562db254e7f0f7cbc1f.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0010-72.png)

do you guys use any tools to automatically generate change logs?
![Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/88c480d4f73b813904e00a5695a454cb.jpg?s=72&d=https%3A%2F%2Fa.slack-edge.com%2Fdf10d%2Fimg%2Favatars%2Fava_0023-72.png)
explored it briefly, but didn’t end up doing anything

@Gabe if you use it, Jira can generate a changelog once you’ve made a release on your project
