This lab turns release automation into a communication-protocol exercise that students can reason about step by step.
What students can learn
- Which protocols are active during queued publication, CI, deploy, and post-deploy verification.
- How handshake, routing, and certificate failures affect release outcomes.
- Why observability signals matter during automated GitHub-to-Cloudflare delivery.
Recommended classroom use
- Walk through a deployment path from repository queue to edge delivery.
- Ask students to annotate each protocol interaction.
- Use failure scenarios to discuss troubleshooting logic.
