maybe if we comment this part the job doesn't run by default (what we want) and in the docs we can clarify that they need to uncomment it if they are willing to deploy to AWS?

Similar to what we did here:

rails_api_base/.github/workflows/update_knapsack_report.yml

Lines 3 to 8 in f999c2f

	on:
	workflow_dispatch:
	# This workflow should be scheduled at certain intervals
	# schedule:
	# - cron: '0 0 1 */3 *'
	# The above cron would schedule it every 3 months. Replace with the wanted periodicity.

And we can even add worfklow_dispatch so that it can be manually triggered

Great! LGTM 🤩

The only doubt I have is if having the on section completely commented might make the GHA invalid

Other option would be doing the same as here

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  # Uncomment and add the necessary branches to enable automatic deployment on AWS
  # push:
    # branches:
      # - main

If I understand correctly, this requires us to create a Github environment and a branch with the exact same name. If we are forcing any naming convention, we should add it to the docs

I'm also wondering if we should keep track of all the releases using the "Github releases" feature, and I think that relies on tagging instead of branch pushes
