1. Introduction

Goal

This tutorial aims to guide you on how to deploy your Go applications on cloud services like AWS and GCP.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to:
- Understand the process of deploying Go applications on AWS and GCP
- Know the best practices for deploying applications on these platforms

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of Go programming language
• Familiarity with AWS and GCP
• An AWS and GCP account

2. Step-by-Step Guide

AWS Deployment

1. Install AWS CLI and Configure

First, we need to install the AWS CLI and configure it with our AWS account. Follow the instructions here to install and configure the AWS CLI.

2. Install Elastic Beanstalk CLI

Next, we will use AWS Elastic Beanstalk to deploy our Go application. Install it by following the instructions here.

3. Initialize Your Application

Navigate to your application directory and run the command eb init. Follow the prompts to set up your application.

4. Deploy Your Application

Finally, deploy your application with the command eb create.

GCP Deployment

1. Install GCloud SDK

First, install the GCloud SDK. Follow the instructions here.

2. Initialize GCloud

Next, authenticate your account and set your project with the command gcloud init.

3. Deploy Your Application

Deploy your application to App Engine with the command gcloud app deploy.

3. Code Examples

AWS Deployment

# Install AWS CLI
pip install awscli

# Configure AWS CLI
aws configure

# Install Elastic Beanstalk CLI
pip install awsebcli

# Navigate to your application directory
cd my-app

# Initialize your application
eb init

# Deploy your application
eb create

GCP Deployment

# Install GCloud SDK
curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

# Initialize GCloud
gcloud init

# Deploy your application
gcloud app deploy

4. Summary

We've learned how to:
- Install and configure AWS CLI and Elastic Beanstalk CLI for AWS deployment
- Install and initialize GCloud SDK for GCP deployment
- Deploy Go applications to AWS and GCP

Next Steps

You can explore more about:
- Scaling your application on AWS and GCP
- Implementing CI/CD for your Go application

• GCP SDK Documentation

5. Practice Exercises

1. Deploy a simple "Hello, World!" Go application on AWS.
2. Deploy a REST API Go application on GCP.
3. Implement a CI/CD pipeline for your Go application deployment on both AWS and GCP.

Solutions and Explanations

1. Follow the steps in the guide to deploy the application. Your "Hello, World!" application should be successfully deployed on AWS.
2. Similarly, follow the steps for GCP deployment. Your REST API should be live on GCP.
3. Look into AWS CodePipeline and Google Cloud Build for implementing CI/CD for your applications. The process involves setting up a source repository, build process, and deployment process.

Tips for Further Practice

Try deploying more complex Go applications, such as a web application with a database, on both AWS and GCP.
