 The goal behind is to make it as easy to use GitHub as an identity provider as officially supported identity providers. Under the hood, it creates additional resources (a REST API and 5 Lambda functions) to connect Cognito to GitHub.
 
+## ⚠️ Project status

+At a first glance, the proposed construct is supposed to work. However, we ended up not using GitHub with Cognito and we cannot rightfully maintain a construct without using it. For this reason, we're archiving this repository. If anyone wants to maintain it, please open an issue.
+If you decide to use this construct (at your own risks), be aware that a new SSH key might be generated every time the Dockerfile is built which could lead to a very short interruption of service during deployment. A solution would be to generate the SSH key outside of CDK and pass it through the context for instance.
