Deploying to a Cloud VM
Deploy your Dockerized application to a virtual machine instance on a chosen cloud provider.
Deploying to the Cloud
You've containerized your app with Docker. Now, it's time to put it online! This lesson covers deploying your Dockerized application to a cloud Virtual Machine (VM).
A VM acts like a remote computer where your app can run 24/7, accessible to users worldwide.
What's a Virtual Machine?
A Virtual Machine (VM) is a software-based computer that runs on a physical server in a cloud data center. It has its own CPU, memory, storage, and network interface, just like a physical machine.
- Isolation: Each VM is isolated from others.
- Flexibility: You choose the operating system (OS) and resources.
- Persistence: Your app keeps running even if you disconnect.
