One of the most unique things about cloud-native applications is their deployment. In traditional application deployment, teams deploy their applications by logging on to a server and installing the application. But in the cloud there are usually many servers, and logging into each one and installing the application manually is not feasible and can be very error prone.

We will cover the following:
