Automate Next.js Deployment to AWS Using GitHub Actions (S3 + CloudFront)

Description

🚀 By the end of this video, your Next.js app will deploy automatically to AWS S3 and CloudFront every time you push code to GitHub. You'll build a production-ready CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions used by real DevOps teams. In this hands-on tutorial, we will build a complete deployment pipeline for Next.js applications using AWS S3, CloudFront, and GitHub Actions. 🔥 DevOps Career Boost 🚀 Linux Foundation Certifications – 30% OFF 💥 Get 30% OFF Linux Foundation Courses & Certifications COUPON CODE: CLOUDGURU 👉 Enroll here for CKAD: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/certified-kubernetes-application-developer-ckad/?source=aw&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=2797056&awc=85919_1773067559_bfa5e6ace1397c69f68bfb64ff35fa1f 👉 Enroll here for CKA: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/certified-kubernetes-administrator-cka/?source=aw&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=2797056&awc=85919_1773067536_a1f91345cf951dbbbecaad9281bf8434 👉 Enroll here for CKS: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/certified-kubernetes-security-specialist/?source=aw&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=2797056&awc=85919_1773067517_4a35c19ecd7d600840ae4908a59308e7 👉 Enroll here for LFCS: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/linux-foundation-certified-sysadmin-lfcs/?source=aw&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=2797056&awc=85919_1773067492_d86b426a144855a255c652e6d2c4816e 👉 Enroll here for all courses and certifications: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=85919&awinaffid=2797056 🔥 Join our Cloud Guru WhatsApp Community https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va8fH154IBhEu3t21y2o ☁️ Managed Cloud Hosting Deals 👉 Get CloudWays https://www.cloudways.com/en/?id=1365224 💥 CloudWays Coupon Code: CLOUDGURU25 Get 25% OFF for 3 months. 🚀 Try xCloud Hosting https://xcloud.host?fpr=cloudguru 💥 Get $200 FREE credits on signup.
