Section titled “Automating Django , Celery , Redis and postgres deployment to AWS EC2 using Terraform ( Complete Guide)”
Introduction
Section titled “Introduction”Automating deployment processes is crucial for modern web development, enhancing productivity and reliability. In this article, we focus on automating the deployment of a Django web application onto an Ubuntu Server hosted on AWS EC2.
🛡️ 2026 DevSecOps Enhancements (What You Will Learn)
Section titled “🛡️ 2026 DevSecOps Enhancements (What You Will Learn)”Deploying Django to production requires strict adherence to DevSecOps principles, as many development defaults are highly insecure:
- Production Web Servers: Running
python manage.py runserverin production is a critical security vulnerability. This project must transition to using a robust WSGI/ASGI server like Gunicorn or Uvicorn, ideally placed behind an Nginx reverse proxy to securely handle TLS/SSL termination and prevent slow-loris DDoS attacks. - Django Secret & Configuration Security: The Django
SECRET_KEY,DEBUG = True, and database credentials must never be committed to source control. In a DevSecOps deployment, these variables are injected dynamically at runtime via AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault.

Step 1: Create a virtual environment to hold all pip libraries installations
Section titled “Step 1: Create a virtual environment to hold all pip libraries installations”If you don’t have virtualenv installed, you can install it by running the following command in your CMD after Python was installed:
Create virtual environment for Python
python3 -m venv .venv
Step 2 : Activate the environment:
Section titled “Step 2 : Activate the environment:”source ./venv/bin/activatesource ./venv/bin/deactivate ( To Deactivate )Step 3: Create project folder
Section titled “Step 3: Create project folder”mkdir appStep 4: Install Django
