  • Updated Azure/docker-login@v1Azure/docker-login@v2
  • Updated azure/login@v1azure/login@v2
  • Updated azure/CLI@v1azure/CLI@v2

Configuration Updates

  • Updated Azure CLI version from 2.0.77latest (the old version is severely outdated)
  • Fixed secret references from ${{ SECRETS.* }}${{ secrets.* }} (proper GitHub Actions syntax)
  • Fixed YAML syntax by quoting the "on" key to prevent boolean interpretation

Benefits

🆕 Features: Access to latest capabilities and improvements in GitHub Actions
🐛 Bug Fixes: Corrected secret reference syntax that could cause workflow failures
🏗️ Stability: Latest Azure CLI version with current API compatibility
📝 Standards: Proper YAML syntax compliant with GitHub Actions requirements
