+# This workflow will build and push a new container image to Amazon ECR,
+# and then will deploy a new task definition to Amazon ECS.
+# It is triggered manually via workflow_dispatch.
+#
+# To use this workflow, you will need to complete the following set-up steps:
+#
+# 1. Create an ECR repository to store your images.
+#    For example: `aws ecr create-repository --repository-name my-ecr-repo --region us-east-2`.
+#    Set the `AWS_REGION` and `ECR_REPOSITORY` variables in your GitHub repository/environment settings.
+#
+# 2. Create an ECS task definition, an ECS cluster, and an ECS service.
+#    For example, follow the Getting Started guide on the ECS console:
+#      https://us-east-2.console.aws.amazon.com/ecs/home?region=us-east-2#/firstRun
+#    Set the `ECS_SERVICE` and `ECS_CLUSTER` variables in your GitHub repository/environment settings.
+#
+# 3. Store your ECS task definition as a JSON file in your repository.
+#    The format should follow the output of `aws ecs register-task-definition --generate-cli-skeleton`.
+#    Set the `ECS_TASK_DEFINITION` and `CONTAINER_NAME` variables in your GitHub repository/environment settings.
+#
+# 4. Configure GitHub OIDC for AWS and create an IAM role that GitHub Actions can assume.
+#    Store the IAM role ARN in a GitHub Actions secret named `AWS_ROLE_ARN`.
+#    See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-hardening-your-deployments/configuring-openid-connect-in-amazon-web-services
+#    for setup instructions and recommended IAM policies.
