Deployment

Deployment choices

The following table summarizes the deployment choices available for the solution:

Deployment type	Description	When to use
Cloud Shell	Use Azure Cloud Shell to deploy the solution to your Azure subscription.	Best suited for quick deployment. All you need is an Azure subscription and a browser.
Azure VM	Use an Azure VM to deploy the solution to your Azure subscription.	Best suited for situations where you need the flexibility of a full development environment (e.g. to customize the solution) but you don't have a local development environment available.
Standard	Use your local development environment to deploy the solution to your Azure subscription.	Best suited for situations where you need the flexibility of a full development environment (e.g. to customize the solution) and you have a local development environment available.
