Deployment of first solution on-premise

Hello,
Could someone throw some light on best practices for deployment of a first solution on an on-premise installation? I saw the link on Application Deployment Guidelines here: ppdtpoc.appiancloud.com/.../Application_Deployment_Guidelines.html
but these are only for 16.1 or are applicable for all versions? We run 7.9 on-premise.

Thanks,
Sudha
