In this on-demand session, Lee Briggs from Tailscale shows how to combine Tailscale with GitHub Actions to securely connect managed runners to private infrastructure. You’ll see how teams use this integration to automate database migrations, run integration tests, and push artifacts without exposing internal systems.

Lee walks through the latest updates to the Tailscale GitHub Action, now rewritten in TypeScript for faster setup and better reliability. He also demonstrates how OIDC Federation between GitHub and Tailscale removes the need for long-lived credentials, making CI/CD pipelines safer and easier to manage.

You’ll learn:

• How to connect GitHub Actions workflows to private resources using Tailscale
• How ephemeral devices and OIDC Federation improve security and simplify automation
• Real examples of database migrations, integration tests, and CI/CD tasks running inside a Tailnet
• How the TypeScript rewrite improves speed and reliability
