Why are we doing this?

It is essential to start learning new concepts and ideas before Saturday’s session. During the week, we expect you to get stuck and form questions about the new content so you can address misconceptions during Saturday’s session. The prep work here will introduce you to the new concepts for the week.

You will need to do this prep work before tackling the coursework.

Setup Github Actions for CYF Hotel Frontend deployments to S3

1. Create GitHub Actions Workflow File: In your CYF Hotel repository, create a new YAML file under the .github/workflows directory. Name it something relevant, like frontend-s3-deploy.yml.

2. Configure AWS Credentials: Utilize GitHub Secrets to securely store your AWS credentials. These secrets will be used in the GitHub Actions workflow to authenticate against AWS.

3. Write S3 Deployment Steps: In the YAML file, define the steps to install AWS CLI, configure AWS credentials, and sync your build folder to your S3 bucket.

4. Test the Workflow: Push a change to your repository or manually run the workflow from the GitHub Actions tab to verify that the S3 deployment works as expected.
