GitHub Actions enables the CI/CD, short for continuous integration or continuous deployment, process to build, test, and deploy the code through the workflows within the same GitHub repository. GitHub Actions builds images and pushes them to cloud providers such as AWS and Docker Hub. We can choose the different OS platforms, Windows or Linux, to run the workflows.

In this article, we will demonstrate how we can streamline the build and deploy process to push Docker Images to AWS ECR, short for Elastic Container Repository, by using GitHub Actions.
