Github action success!

I just managed to automate updates for a website hosted on AWS on push of a commit to github.

The site is served by nginx running in a docker container.
The source for the site is stored in a private github repo.

I have configured an action based on this stackoverflow post
which connects to the AWS instance and pulls the git repo to refresh the site.

I also used Cloudformation to apply some of the AWS configs.

TIL AWS SG rules are limited to 1000

I tried to set up a security group using a prefix-list with more than 5,000 entries and discovered the hard limit of 1000 rules in the AWS Security groups
