Description

Why are we doing this?
Setup Github Actions for CYF Hotel Backend deployments to EC2
Create GitHub Actions Workflow File: Similar to the frontend, create a new YAML file in your CYF Hotel repository under .github/workflows, and name it appropriately, like backend-ec2-deploy.yml.
Configure AWS and SSH Credentials: Store your AWS and SSH credentials securely using GitHub Secrets. These will be used to authenticate and connect to your EC2 instance.
Write EC2 Deployment Steps: Outline the steps in the YAML file for SSHing into your EC2 instance, pulling the latest code, and restarting your backend service.
Test the Workflow: Like with the frontend, push a change to your repository or manually trigger the workflow from GitHub Actions to ensure that your backend is successfully deployed to the EC2 instance.
