Modern software teams are increasingly adopting cloud-based solutions for hosting and deploying applications and infrastructure. However, deploying applications in the cloud can be complex and requires automation to streamline processes. To address this challenge, many teams are embracing continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices, which involve automating tasks from build to package to release. Various tools specialize in helping with these tasks, such as AppVeyor for Windows and .NET applications, AWS CodeDeploy for Amazon Web Services customers, and Kubernetes for container orchestration. Other notable tools include Bamboo, CircleCI, Codeship, Google App Engine, Helm, Heroku, IBM Cloud, Jenkins, Octopus Deploy, Red Hat OpenShift, Travis CI, Up, and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). Each tool has its strengths, weaknesses, and learning curves, and teams should carefully evaluate their needs before selecting a solution.
