Lab Context

This lab continues directly from the AWS Frontend Hosting module.

In the previous AWS module, you already:

• Deployed a React/Vite frontend application
• Created a private S3 bucket
• Configured CloudFront with OAC
• Connected a custom domain
• Configured SSL/TLS
• Verified the website works in production

In this lab, you will NOT create the AWS infrastructure again (unless you deleted it completely, then good luck).

Instead, you will focus on the DevOps automation layer:

GitHub → CI/CD Pipeline → Automatic Production Deployment

The goal of this lab is to transform your existing frontend deployment into an automated production deployment workflow using GitHub Actions.
