In this chapter, we extended our Jenkins pipeline to deploy and test our application artifact on an EC2 instance in a VPC environment. You learned how to use Packer to template the provisioning of instances as well as how to use Serverspec to apply extra verification of our infrastructure.

In the next chapter, we are going to finalize our Jenkins pipeline setup by adding the Continuous Deployment element to it. We will examine ways to deploy AMIs created during the Delivery stage into a production environment.
