In this chapter, we elaborated on previous patterns, such as those in Chapter 2, Basic Patterns, to come up with some practical and theoretical solutions to issues and deployment concerns. In the bootstrap pattern, we discussed how to separate the actual data from the user data of the instance, so that small tweaks to our web application could be made quickly and with few downstream effects. We then moved to the Cloud dependency injection pattern in which we showed how to separate the user data completely from the instance using information from the tags provided via the API, then injecting them at boot-time. Next, we covered the stack deployment pattern, in which we covered in some detail how to launch an entire stack, or in our case a web application and a database, in a single transaction. This allowed us to quickly deploy with little room for error. We next covered the monitoring integration pattern, in which we discussed some of the issues with the CloudWatch service, and how...
