 ## Deployment types
 
-Carefully consider your organization's needs and technical expertise when selecting a Sourcegraph deployment method. Each option has different capabilities, resource requirements, and levels of technical expertise needed. Consider your organization's needs carefully, as the deployment method cannot be easily changed for a running instance.
+Carefully consider your organization's needs and technical expertise when selecting a Sourcegraph deployment method. Each option has different capabilities, resource requirements, and levels of technical expertise needed. Changing deployment methods in the future requires a complete redeployment and database migration.
+
+Sourcegraph's recommended deployment methods are, in order:
+1. [Sourcegraph Cloud](#sourcegraph-cloud) - This provides a fully managed solution where Sourcegraph handles all of the maintence, monitoring, and upgrading tasks to give you an optimal Sourcegraph experience while immediately getting the latest features into your users' hands. This solution does require your code hosts to be connected to the Sourcegraph managed environment.
+2. [Kubernetes Helm](#kubernetes) - Sourcegraph's Kubernetes deployment provides the most robust, scalable, and vetted self-hosted solution. This solution is ideal across many self-hosted customers capable of deploying a multi-node instance, and can be supported by all mainstream managed Kubernetes platforms.
+3. [Docker Compose](#docker-compose) - Docker Compose provides the preferred single-node deployment solution for Sourcegraph. It can be a good option when the complexities and flexibility provided by Kubernetes Helm are not needed.
+4. [Kubernetes Kustomize](#kubernetes) - Helm is Sourcegraph's more standardized and vetted approach to deploying with Kubernetes, but if Kustomize is your preferred deployment method it is a viable and supported approach.
+5. [Machine Images](#machine-images) - Sourcegraph can be deployed using dedicated Machine Images for specific Cloud providers. This can be a simple solution in specific circumstances, though has its own considerations. If you are considering this path, please discuss with your account team.
