Deploying a Django app on AWS

Overview

All of these steps are performed locally.

Prerequisites

• See AWS Services
• See Django App Prerequisites for AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Deploying a Django app

Updates to the app are deployed with eb deploy.

This looks at .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml for the target application and environment.

<syntaxhighlight lang="yml"> branch-defaults:

 master:
   environment: nrose-env

global:

 application_name: north-rose
 default_ec2_keyname: nrosedevs-aws
 default_platform: 64bit Amazon Linux 2015.09 v2.0.6 running Python 3.4
 default_region: us-west-2
 profile: eb-cli
 sc: git

</syntaxhighligh>

With the config.yml above, eb deploy will package up the project file and upload them to the EC2 instance corresponding with the nrose-env environment of the north-rose app.
