How to start studying deployment?

Question

Software Deployment

Hello, I'm a front-end developer in a small team. I write in Angular, sometimes I edit the layout.
Deployment (on Amazon WS) was always done by the main back-end engineer, who suddenly quit without explaining anything to anyone.
After that, the management decided that everyone should know the deployment of their work in the team. The maximum thing I have ever done in terms of deployment was once uploading a static layout to a free hosting via Faylzila. And at the current place of work, my responsibility always ended with a push to the github.
Question: from what side to approach the study of this area? I know that we use Docker, but I'm reading the docker documentation - there are a lot of incomprehensible words - demons, ports, virtual servers. And where to read about the basics?

Answer 1

Write (pay) a backender to describe the scheme by which everything works for you. After that, it will be possible to go through the points and understand what's what.

Answer 2

Deploy is simply deployment of your application.
You can just deploy it locally, pick it up and make sure it works - that's what needs to be logged.
And dockers, ansibles and so on are a separate area of ​​​​deploy automation, this should not be configured by every person in the team, but by the admin or devops, who, according to your instructions for deploying on a local machine, will be able to set up comfortable automatic deployment.
In your case, it is very strange that the previous employee did not leave any documentation. If it was a conflict with the authorities, then let the authorities solve their cant on their own - they will find him, pay for the consultation. Or hire another devops who will figure out what the first one did.

Answer 3

Offer the management to hire a devops Without understanding how the backender
organized everything - it’s pointless to advise anything
Purely the front does not need a docker
