\section{Proposed Tool: GitHub Actions}
We propose researching GitHub Actions and comparing it with Jenkins, which
will be introduced in class. GitHub Actions interests us because our group
already uses GitHub to maintain source code and documentation. We want to
understand how repository workflows can automate the build, testing, and
deployment of our Dockerized website to AWS.

Our comparison will consider setup effort, workflow configuration, and
visibility into build and deployment results. A future demonstration could
provide a manually triggered workflow that builds and deploys the application.
For this proposal, no installation or implementation of the comparison tool
is claimed. The current proof of concept is the manually deployed EC2 website.

% Draft selection based on the earlier discussion: both authors should confirm
% GitHub Actions versus Jenkins before submitting this chapter.
