GitHub Actions (github.com)

Just announced during GitHub Universe:

"Workflows can be triggered by GitHub platform events (i.e. push, issue, release) and can run a sequence of serial or parallel actions in response. Combine and configure actions for the services you know and love built and maintained by the community."

How different would this be from azure pipelines? Id like to see azure pipelines integrated into Github since Github acquisition is only 3 days away.

Side note: the sans-serif font used on that landing page is Inter UI[1], an open source font that kind of looks like Apple's San Francisco font.
