Understand the different deployment targets

- We have made it to the point where we're ready to deploy our application so that it can be used. This is a step that comes right after our application has been tested, reviewed, and released. Now we must decide where we will host our application. This is basically the systems where we can install and run our application in. The most common deployment target is the compute resource, and this can be either a physical machine or a virtual machine hosted in a private data center or in the cloud. If your application runs as a container, you can deploy it to a Kubernetes cluster or a service that allows you to run container instances. The next target that you can deploy to can be any of the different services provided by the cloud providers, such as functions as a service, static web apps and pages.
