Cloud Deployment Strategies
Explore strategies for deploying Spring Boot applications to cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Cloud Deployment for Spring Boot
Why move your Spring Boot app to the cloud? Cloud platforms offer immense benefits like scalability, reliability, and global reach. In this lesson, we'll explore the common strategies and models for deploying your applications on leading cloud providers like AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Understanding Cloud Deployment Models
Cloud platforms provide different levels of abstraction for deploying your applications. Understanding these models helps you choose the right approach:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): You manage virtual machines, networks, and storage.
- Platform as a Service (PaaS): The cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure, allowing you to focus purely on your code.
- Function as a Service (FaaS): You deploy individual functions, and the provider manages everything else, often called 'serverless' computing.
