We need to step back and ask what the “Cloud” offers and agree on a set of definitions and concepts; in particular, the concepts of Deployment, Immutable Infrastructure, and Blue-Green Deployments. Once we have a strong grasp of these concepts, we can then apply them using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

If we choose a less automated approach, we’d quickly become overwhelmed (and bored) with the numerous routine tasks involved. We’d have little assurance regarding the reproducibility of our infrastructure and we'd accumulate too many one-off hand-crafted changes.
