In this chapter, we reviewed some of the strategies you can follow for deployment of your cloud application. We emphasized the importance of automating your infrastructure and setting up a DevOps pipeline. We followed this up with sections on setting up and monitoring a cloud-based backup solution. We also included a brief section on going live with your application on the cloud. Finally, we described deployment-related steps for our sample application.  

The next chapter allows you to using the methods from the chapters thus far to design an end-to-end, AWS-based, Big Data application.
