+# GitHub Actions Workflows
+
+This directory contains GitHub Actions workflows for the DevOps The Hard Way - Azure tutorial.
+
+## 📋 Workflow Files
+
+### 🔧 `main.yml` - Tutorial Example Workflow
+**Purpose**: Educational content demonstrating CI/CD pipeline setup
+**Status**: ⚠️ **DISABLED** - Tutorial content only
+
+This workflow is provided as an example for learning purposes and is **not intended to run** in this tutorial repository.
+
+**Features:**
+- Terraform deployment automation
+- Azure OIDC authentication
+- Static code analysis hooks (commented)
+- Terraform documentation generation hooks (commented)
+
+**To Use This Workflow:**
+1. Fork or copy this repository to your own GitHub account
+2. Set up Azure OIDC authentication (see tutorial)
+3. Enable the workflow by modifying the `on:` triggers
+4. Customize the configuration for your environment
+
+### 🚀 `deploy-full.yml` - Complete Deployment Pipeline
+**Purpose**: Full infrastructure and application deployment
+**Status**: ✅ **ACTIVE** - Manual trigger only
+
+This workflow provides complete deployment automation including:
+- Infrastructure provisioning (ACR, VNET, Log Analytics, AKS)
+- Docker image building and pushing
+- Kubernetes application deployment
+- ALB Controller and Gateway setup
+- Optional resource cleanup
+
+**Triggers:**
+- Manual execution only (`workflow_dispatch`)
+- Environment selection (dev/staging/prod)
+- Optional cleanup after deployment
+
+## 🎓 Educational Notes
+
+### Why Two Workflows?
+
+1. **`main.yml`**: Demonstrates traditional CI/CD patterns
+   - Shows basic Terraform automation
+   - Includes hooks for advanced features
+   - Focuses on single component (AKS)
+   - Educational and reference material
+
+2. **`deploy-full.yml`**: Complete solution approach
+   - Deploys entire infrastructure stack
+   - Production-ready patterns
+   - Multi-environment support
+   - Practical automation tool
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+Both workflows use:
+- ✅ Azure OIDC authentication (no stored secrets)
+- ✅ Least privilege access patterns
+- ✅ Environment-specific configurations
+- ✅ Manual approval workflows for production
+
+### Best Practices Demonstrated
+
+- **Infrastructure as Code**: All resources defined in Terraform
+- **GitOps**: Infrastructure changes through Git workflows
+- **Immutable Infrastructure**: Complete rebuilds vs. updates
+- **Environment Isolation**: Separate state files and configurations
+- **Automated Testing**: Built-in validation and testing steps
+
+## 🔧 Setup Instructions
+
+### For Tutorial Learning:
+1. Study the workflow files as examples
+2. Understand the patterns and practices
+3. Follow the tutorial documentation
+
+### For Practical Use:
+1. Copy/fork this repository
+2. Set up Azure service principal or OIDC
+3. Configure GitHub secrets
+4. Customize for your environment
+5. Enable and run workflows
