Deployment and DevOps

Introduction to deployment

Deployment is getting hardware and software up and running in the desired environment. It includes steps such as installation, configuration, pushing the code, testing, etc.

In the cloud computing model, we’re not dealing with physical hardware anymore, it's all about the virtual environment or services we deploy where we can run our applications. Cloud offers us the capability to use on-demand computing, which means we can create and destroy resources as needed. To realize the true potential of the cloud computing model, we need to automate as much as possible.
