If you want to Automate Spring boot Deployment using GitHub Actions (CI/CD pipeline), you are at the right place. Deploying Spring boot application to AWS EC2 using Github Actions is challanging for many developers and devops engineers. Understanding what is github actions is the crucial part of this.
---------------------
Why Use GitHub Actions for EC2 Deployment?
GitHub Actions allows developers to automate workflows directly from their repositories. When combined with AWS EC2, it enables a robust and scalable deployment pipeline for Spring Boot applications.

Steps:

Step 1: Create a GitHub Repository and Setup Your Spring Boot Project
Start by creating a new GitHub repository. You can name it something like ec2-deploy-springboot.
Go to GitHub and click New Repository.
Name it ec2-deploy-springboot.
Clone the repo locally and initialize your Spring Boot project using Spring Initializr.
Add your project files to the repo and push the initial commit.

git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/your-username/ec2-...
git add .
git commit -m "Initial Spring Boot project setup"
git push -u origin main

Step 2: Launch an AWS EC2 Instance and Generate Key pair

Log in to your AWS Console.
Navigate to EC2 Dashboard → Instances → Launch Instance.
Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI), e.g., Amazon Linux 2 or Ubuntu.
Select an instance type (e.g., t2.micro for free tier).
Configure instance details and storage.
Add a security group allowing SSH (port 22) and HTTP (port 80).
Create a new key pair or use an existing one.
Launch the instance.

Once launched, note the Public DNS of your EC2 instance

Step 3: Add SSH Key and EC2 Details to GitHub Secrets
Go to your GitHub repository:
Navigate to Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions.
Click New repository secret and add the following:
EC2_HOST: ec2-user@your-ec2-public-dns
EC2_KEY: Your private SSH key (not .pem, but the actual private key content)
EC2_PORT: Usually 22
These secrets will be used by GitHub Actions to securely connect to your EC2 instance.

Step 4: Create GitHub Actions Workflow File
Create a new file ec2-deploy.yml and add the contents. Check this GitHub repo link
ec2-deploy.yml content: https://github.com/naveen103c/ec2-dep...

Step 5: Push Changes to Trigger CI/CD Pipeline
Once your workflow file is ready, commit and push it to GitHub:
This push will trigger the GitHub Actions workflow. You can monitor the progress under the Actions tab in your GitHub repository.

🧪 Testing the Deployment
After the workflow completes:

SSH into your EC2 instance.
Check if the Spring Boot application is running:
Visit your EC2 public DNS in the browser: http://your-ec2-public-dns:8080

If everything is configured correctly, your Spring Boot app should be live!
---------------------

Conclusion
By following this guide, you’ve successfully automated the deployment of a Spring Boot application to AWS EC2 using GitHub Actions. This setup ensures that every push to your main branch triggers a deployment, streamlining your development workflow.
