Chapter 13
Deploying Applications
This chapter covers the following topics:
Application Deployment Models: This section discusses the
public, private, hybrid, and edge cloud application deployment models.

metal virtual machines, containers, and serverless deployments.
DevOps: This section provides an overview of the DevOps operational

In the past, deployment options for getting an
application up and running were fairly simple: You
bought a server, fed it hundreds of CD-ROMs, and 12
hours later, you had your application ready to start
configuring and inputting data. Thanks to the
evolution of application architectures and microservice
design patterns, new technologies support the new
breed of applications. You now have numerous ways to
deploy applications, including automated and flexible
ways to get your applications up and providing value
to your business. This chapter explores some of the
core technologies and operating models that are in use
today.“DO I KNOW THIS ALREADY?” QUIZ
