Welcome! I’m here to help you to master the basics of deploying a Django web application to Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) whilst utilizing Nginx and Docker.

Please read carefully

This course is primarily intended for individuals who have a basic knowledge of Django and AWS.  Knowledge on Docker would be helpful, but it isn’t mandatory for this course.

To put it simply, if you have some background in Django and AWS and want to learn about how to deploy your web application then this is definitely the course for you!

I want to help YOU deploy your Django web app to AWS.

The Deploy a Django web app with Nginx and Amazon ECScourse has been structured in a simple and logical order. Everything that has been designed from the styling to the graphics and topics covered is crafted with the absolute duty of care towards the student.

The main focus of the course is to teach you how to deploy your Django web application to Amazon ECS with Docker and Nginx.

In this course we will NEED to purchase a domain name from AWS Route 53.

We will only focus on deployment and NOT delve into making use of any automation tools or focus on intricate use cases. This includes the AWS CI/CD tools for continuous integration and delivery.

You will learn how to utilize several AWS services such as Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, Route 53, Certificate Manager, Elastic Container Service (EC2 – launch type) etc.

You will also learn how to attach a domain name and SSL certificate to your web application.

It is mixed with theory and practical hands-on demonstrations.

The course is structured in a logical and cohesive way – not just random slides plastered everywhere.

It starts off very simple and then builds on gradually throughout the course.

You will also learn about the basics of Docker and containerization

This course is jam-packedwith lecture slides, PDF walkthroughs, code snippets/references and comes along with the full project source code – as a zip file.

All 150 + slides are available as a downloadable PDF.

The Deploy a Django web app with Nginx and Amazon ECS course is a highly practical course and allows you to apply your knowledge:

There is a wealth of hands-on lectures throughout this course.

You will be able to deploy your Django web application by containerizing it.

We will configure Nginx as a reverse proxy and bind it to our Django application with Gunicorn

Your instructor:

My name is Arno Pretorius. I’m a qualified IT teacher who has taught programming both in-person and online. My main passions are teaching and technology, so I thought why not just combine the best of both worlds to create something truly amazing and valuable. Over the years, I have created and deployed many real-world Django-based applications, including a job portal for university graduates and an exclusive social network.

I’m a Software developer, an AWS Solutions Architect and Developer associate. I have a keen interest in cloud computing, web development and everything that relates to programming and technology.

So, let’s go and become fluent in Django deployment, along with an extra service or two.

Trust me you are in good hands!
