Deploying Python Applications with AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Moving your Python application from local development to a live, production-ready cloud environment can feel overwhelming. AWS Elastic Beanstalk simplifies this process by handling provisioning, load balancing, and autoscaling, allowing you to focus purely on writing code. This text-based course guides you step-by-step through the entire deployment lifecycle. You will learn how to prepare your Python code, configure cloud resources securely, and manage updates efficiently using the command-line interface. What you'll learn: Understand foundational cloud hosting concepts and how Elastic Beanstalk manages infrastructure; Configure Python applications using modern dependency management tools and virtual environments; Deploy web applications seamlessly using the Elastic Beanstalk Command Line Interface (eb CLI); Manage environment variables and secure application secrets in the cloud; Configure autoscaling, load balancing, and health monitoring for production reliability; Troubleshoot deployment issues by reading and analyzing remote server logs. The course starts with essential cloud deployment terminology and foundational concepts before moving into hands-on configuration. You will progress from setting up your local environment to managing live, autoscaled applications in production. This course is designed for beginner-to-intermediate Python developers who want to deploy their projects to the cloud. No prior AWS experience is required.
