# Deployment

Learn the requirements for deploying a custom book.

After successfully building your book and creating a Docker image, the next step is deployment. You have the flexibility to deploy your book to any environment that supports external access and routing, ensuring it can be reached from Kognitos. The choice of deployment method will depend on your organization's specific preferences and requirements. Common deployment options include:

* Cloud platforms (ex: [Amazon ECS](https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/deploy-docker-containers/), [Azure](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-instances/container-instances-quickstart-portal))
* On-premises infrastructure
* Container orchestration platforms, such as [Kubernetes](https://docs.docker.com/guides/)
