I'm currently new to deployment with Java and getting confused with jar and war. If someone can clear my couple of questions below

Do I need to convert my jar (Java spring services) to war and deploy on Jboss/Tomcat? or I should copy my jar on prod server and run java -jar "jar name" with nohup.

What should be the ideal production deployment approach?

It's an enterprise level application. Can someone please help me how do I deploy jar app in EC2 production server.

No, you need not. Yes, you could. Create a systemd daemon definition and timer to run the app, this is better than nohup – Marged
What's systemd daemon definition – A Lovely
You should not forget that EC2 instances need to be considered shortlived, you should automate the deployment – Marged
@Marged can you explain me lil more please ? – A Lovely

Spring boot comes with an internal tomcat. So you do not need to deploy it inside a tomcat and neither do you need to convert it to a war.

You can just run it using the java - jar "jar name" command
