Cloud Deployment Strategies
Explore strategies for deploying Scala microservices to cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Introduction to Cloud Deployment
Welcome to Cloud Deployment Strategies! In this lesson, we'll explore how to deploy your Scala microservices to major cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Cloud deployment offers immense benefits for microservices, including scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency. It allows your applications to handle varying loads and remain highly available.
Cloud Service Models
Cloud platforms offer different service models:
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): You manage VMs, OS, etc. (e.g., AWS EC2, GCP Compute Engine).
- PaaS (Platform as a Service): You deploy code, the platform handles infrastructure (e.g., AWS Elastic Beanstalk, GCP App Engine).
- FaaS (Functions as a Service): Serverless execution of code snippets (e.g., AWS Lambda, GCP Cloud Functions).
Each model has trade-offs in control vs. operational overhead.
