Deploying applications with a simple but secure setup

Core Principles:

• avoid assumptions
• use only CLI tools
• avoid deleting any existing cloud resource, to not disrupt operations

Guidelines:

• use wait commands whenever possible instead of polling
• make sure to create and store SSH keys to access deployment machines/instances instead of passwords
• do not delete the SSH Keys you create otherwise you'd be locked out
• always try using CLI tools with default env vars before asking for credentials
