- Continuous integration and templating: In this step, we are building our application and creating the deployment artifacts. Furthermore, we are creating the infrastructure templates that are used to deploy our application.
- IaC: In this step, we are deploying our infrastructure using the infrastructure templates.

In each of these steps, different...
