In the final recipe for this chapter, we are going to take our deployment and shift it up onto a public cloud. By the end of this recipe, we will have a cloud-based deployment of our microservice system with a supporting continuous delivery pipeline.

While we've built our deployment structure without coupling it to any particular cloud provider, we'll be focusing on deploying to Amazon Web Services (AWS) in this recipe. At the time of writing, AWS is the most popular Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) provider.

Please note that this recipe will incur billable time on the AWS cloud, so we advise shutting down the system once the recipe is complete (and between long breaks) in order to minimize costs.
