Episode 49: Deployment Models: Cloud, Hybrid, On-Premises

August 31, 2025 · 19 min

Show notes

In this episode, we explore the various deployment models available when building and managing applications in AWS: cloud-only, hybrid, and on-premises. The cloud-only model involves fully migrating your applications to AWS, leveraging AWS’s scalable, reliable, and cost-effective cloud services. We’ll dive into the benefits and challenges of a cloud-only approach, including how to optimize your resources for performance, cost, and scalability.

We’ll also cover the hybrid model, where some resources are kept on-premises and others are moved to the cloud. Hybrid architectures are ideal for businesses that need to maintain certain on-premises systems due to regulatory, legacy, or other business requirements. Finally, we’ll discuss the on-premises model, which involves maintaining infrastructure within your own data centers. Understanding these models is crucial for selecting the right approach for your organization’s needs. By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to assess your organization’s requirements and decide which deployment model best aligns with your business goals.
