AWS Deployment Services

The task of designing a scalable, efficient, and cost-effective deployment solution should not be limited to the issue of how you will update your application version, but should also consider how you will manage supporting infrastructure throughout the complete application lifecycle. Resource provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, software updates, monitoring, access control, and other concerns are all important factors to consider when designing a deployment solution.

AWS provides a number of services that provide management capabilities for one or more aspects of your application lifecycle. Depending on your desired balance of control (i.e., manual management of resources) versus convenience (i.e., AWS management of resources) and the type of application, these services can be used on their own or combined to create a feature-rich deployment solution. This section will provide an overview of the AWS services that can be used to enable organizations to more rapidly and reliably build and deliver applications.
