Summary
In this chapter, we ran through a hands-on exercise that deployed a set of IaC templates using Terraform. This allowed you to deploy a complex and interrelated constellation of infrastructure components in minutes – something that could have taken hours to configure by hand in the AWS Management Console.
Next, we showed you how to use another set of IaC templates to deploy a containerized distributed application that spanned an AWS Region, an AWS Local Zone, and an AWS Wavelength Zone. You can now use both IaC stacks as the basis of further development of your own distributed applications.
Finally, we gave you some pointers on how to evaluate the impact on user experience the physical location of the application entry point has.
In the next, and final, chapter, we will review the future of AWS edge computing services.
