Foreman is a large application and getting it our users reliably requires effort. During this talk we'll go through how software gets from developers to users by using exciting things like processes and procedures.
The Foreman project has recently moved big parts of its CI to GitHub Actions (GHA), to allow better re-use of code between repositories, easier control of CI by repository owners and to reduce the maintenance cost of infrastructure. As with any other migration, this was not painless, but we learned a lot, created many useful snippets and found more places for improvement.
In this talk we will share the benefits of this migration for developers, show how the created workflows can be used in other projects, but also highlight problems that GHA has over Jenkins and what we plan to do to fix these.
