# Deployment Methods

On-Prem Deployment Guide (Azure)

You have two options for deploying services:

### [Method 1: Using deploy.sh Script (Recommended)](/self-managed-hivel-deployment/virtual-private-cloud/azure/hivel-on-premises-deployment-guide-azure/deployment-methods/method-1-deployment-using-deploy.sh-script.md)

This is the easiest and recommended method. The script handles:

* Automatic ECR authentication
* Image pulling with prompts
* Service deployment
* Health checks
* Log viewing

### [Method 2: Using Docker Compose Directly](/self-managed-hivel-deployment/virtual-private-cloud/azure/hivel-on-premises-deployment-guide-azure/deployment-methods/method-2-deployment-using-docker-compose.md)

For more control or if you prefer manual steps.
