In this post, I’ll guide you through the process of setting up OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication with Azure and GitHub Actions.
GitHub has really opened the doors for collaboration across the wider software development community. If you are already using GitHub then it makes sense to make the most of the GitHub ecosystem and use of all of it’s available features, including GitHub Actions; a powerful workflow engine that enables developers to automate repetitive tasks.

Please note that this guide assumes that you are already familiar with using Azure Functions and using GitHub for basic source control management.
