      <h1>Deployment</h1>
<p>Deployment involves packaging up your web application and putting it in a 
production environment that can run the app.</p>
<h2>Why is deployment necessary?</h2>
<p>Your web application must live somewhere other than your own desktop or 
laptop. A production environment is the canonical version of your current 
application and its associated data.</p>
<h2>Deployment hosting options</h2>
<p>There are four options for deploying and hosting a web application:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>"Bare metal" servers</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Virtualized servers</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Infrastructure-as-a-service</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Platform-as-a-service</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2>Deployment resources</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p><a href="http://omniti.com/seeds/thoughts-on-web-application-deployment">Thoughts on web application deployment</a>
  walks through stages of deployment with source control, planning, 
  continuous deployment and monitoring the results.</p>

<p><a href="http://blogs.atlassian.com/2014/04/practical-continuous-deployment/">Practical continuous deployment</a>

  workflow.</p>
