Description: A deployment artifact is an essential component in the application deployment process in the cloud, especially on platforms like AWS and other cloud providers. This artifact can be a file or resource that contains the configuration and parameters necessary to deploy and manage applications and services on cloud infrastructure. In the context of cloud application deployment, the deployment artifact may include the application code, libraries, configuration files, and other resources required for the application to function correctly. Additionally, deployment artifacts can refer to template files that define infrastructure as code, allowing developers and system administrators to create and manage cloud resources programmatically and repetitively. These artifacts are fundamental for automating the deployment process, ensuring that applications are deployed consistently and efficiently, minimizing human errors, and facilitating the scalability and maintenance of cloud applications.
