### 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.
