Specifically, we'll deploy an Ubuntu instance on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is a very popular platform for cloud computing. While we won't go into extreme detail on AWS (it's an extremely large and complex platform), you'll definitely get a feel for what it's like to deploy resources in the cloud, which will be more than enough to get you started.
