The document discusses deployment strategies in the cloud using tools like Amazon EC2, Fabric, virtualenv, and git. Key points: - Software packages are included in Amazon Machine Images to maximize automation and deployment is fully automated. - Project packages are retrieved and installed during deployment for the latest versions but this can impact performance and security. - Tools used for deployment include Fabric, virtualenv, pip, and git. - The deployment procedure instantiates servers, checks out the project from git, and runs a bootstrap script to install virtualenv and Fabric to manage deployment.
