Is this AWS deployment strategy cost-effective?

Yes, it utilizes a serverless pay-as-you-go model (S3 and CloudFront). Additionally, CloudFront's first 1,000 invalidations per month are included in the free tier.

Why can't I run 'serverless deploy' manually?

To ensure environment consistency, secure secret management, and a clear audit trail, this skill enforces deployments strictly through GitHub Actions rather than local environments.

What permissions are required for the AWS IAM user?

The IAM user requires permissions for S3 bucket management, CloudFront invalidations, CloudFormation stack creation, and optionally Route53 for DNS management.

How long does it take for changes to go live after a push?

Once the GitHub Action completes successfully, a CloudFront invalidation is triggered which typically takes about 5 minutes for content to update globally.

Does this skill handle SSL/HTTPS configuration?

Yes, the provided AWS architecture uses CloudFront to serve content over HTTPS and automatically redirects all HTTP traffic to secure connections.
