1.Create instance:
Go-to AWS services
(1) Launch instance
(a)select Your Operating system (Choose AMI)
(b) Choose Instance type (max)
ex:Type (t2 micro) or what your required
(c)Configure security group
click Add rule,select type- Http, source- anywhere
(d)Review and launch

select create new key pair,muralikrishna or what you want and keep remember it(key pair name),
Click Download,
select your instance (click connect),
open an SSH client:(in terminal):
GO to your key pair location
ex:

$ chmod 400 muralikrishna.pem
$ SSH -i "muralikrishna.pem" ubuntu @ ec2-52-66-238-206.ap-south-1.compute.amazonaws.com
We are successfully connected AWS SSH
if you want exit the connection type (exit) click enter
2.Deploying Django Application to AWS EC2 Instance:
(a)Run this commands one-by-one:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
(b)Next Check the python version :
$ python3 --version
(c)Next install python environment:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-venv
$ python3 -m venv env
(d)Now activate the environment:
$ source env/bin/activate
(e)Please push ur Django project in GITHUB
$ git clone https://github.com/SUBHAMURALIKRISHNA/Student-Assessment-Portal-windows
Note: Here "Student-Assessment-Portal-windows" this is my repositories name
(f)Install nginx service:
$ sudo apt-get install -y nginx
(g)Next install gunicorn:
$ pip3 install gunicorn
(h)Install the requirements what you want i mean your project requirements, GO to your requirements.txt file path and run this command
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
(i)Install supervisor
$ sudo apt-get install supervisor
(j)Go-to supervisor location
$ cd /etc/supervisor/conf.d/
(k)Now we can create and edit gunicorn configuration file using this commands with in the $ cd /etc/supervisor/conf.d/
$ sudo touch gunicorn.conf
$ sudo nano gunicorn.conf
(l)Here we can write the gunicorn program
ex:
[program:gunicorn]
directory=/home/ubuntu/Student-Assessment-Portal-windows
command=/home/ubuntu/env/bin/gunicorn --workers 3 --bind unix:/home/ubuntu/Student-Assessment-Portal-windows/app.sock svportal.wsgi:application
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn/gunicorn.err.log
stdout_logfile=/var/log/gunicorn/gunicorn.out.log
[group:guni]
programs:gunicorn
Note: above configuration file "Student-Assessment-Portal-windows" enter your project directory name and "svportal" project name
(m)Now create gunicorn file and check status:
$ sudo mkdir /var/log/gunicorn
$ sudo supervisorctl reread
output: guni:avaliable
$ sudo supervisorctl update
output: guni:added process group
$ sudo supervisorctl status
output: guni:gunicorn Running pid 11219, uptime 0:00:01
(n)Go-to nginx sites location
$ cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
(o)create django configuration file edit the file
$ sudo touch django.conf
$ sudo nano django.conf
ex: server{
listen 80;
server_name 3.16.31.127;
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/ubuntu/Student-Assessment-Portal-windows/app.sock;
}
}
Note: Here server_name is aws instance ip address check your instance and copy paste over here
(p)Next test the nginx service
$ sudo nginx -t
$ sudo ln django.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
(q)Finally restart the nginx service:
$ sudo service nginx restart
Note: Here we can deploy django application successfully but we can't run static files and media files
3.Connect to static files and media files:
(a) we need to go configuration path
$ cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
(b) open django configuration file
$ sudo nano django.conf
ex: server{
listen 80;
server_name 18.222.109.192;
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/ubuntu/Student-Assessment-Portal-windows/app.sock;
}
location /static {
autoindex on;
alias /home/ubuntu/Student-Assessment-Portal-windows/static;
}
location /media {
autoindex on;
alias /home/ubuntu/Student-Assessment-Portal-windows/media;
}
}
(c)test nginx service again
$ sudo nginx -t
$ sudo service nginx restart
4.Creating a RDS Instance In AWS:
(a) open AWS
services
Database
RDS
create database
select standard create
(b) engine type:
mysql
(c) Templates:
Free tire
(d) settings:
Identifier -krishnadb
(e) credentials settings:

(h) Additional configguration:
Enter database name -krishnadb
(i) create database- Click button
(j) open database
go-to connectivity and security:
click endpoint:
smarttus.cathhsbxzpu-ap-south/rdS-amazonaws.com- copy this end point
(k)open terminal and connect your ssh go-to
$ source env/bin/active
(l)next open settings.py with nano editor using this command
$ sudo nano settings.py
(m)here we can add the database
ex:
DATABASES ={
'default':{
'ENGINE' : 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME' : 'krishdb',
'USER' : 'krish',
'PASSWORD' : 'Murali14',
'HOST' : 'krishnadb.citovt0dmixr.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com',

hey bro!!
i want to ask you that ..in my project im using splite3
so its okay if i go with mysql in AWS because i can't find splite3 in AWS
Yeah I know in aws there no splite3... Don't worry about it please go through the MySQL database
Also you're using ubuntu distribution for ec2 instance (because apt-get package manager). Can you share changes have to be done in gunicorn if using amazon linux 2 ?
Yes Vatsal, I'm using ubuntu 20.04 it is very flexible and secure for deploying our projects..
yeah i will try to change
