Can I manage multiple environments like staging and production?

Absolutely. The skill provides patterns for environment-based deployment using different S3 targets within the Hugo configuration.

What is the benefit of using OIDC for AWS deployment?

OIDC allows GitHub Actions to access AWS using short-lived tokens, eliminating the security risk of storing long-lived IAM access keys as secrets.

Why use S3 over GitHub Pages for Hugo?

S3 offers better control over HTTP headers, supports sites larger than 1GB, and allows for custom authentication or private CDNs via CloudFront.

Does this skill handle CloudFront cache invalidation?

Yes, it includes configurations to automatically trigger CloudFront invalidations after a successful S3 sync to ensure users see the latest content.
