Deploy Django Application using gunicorn & Nginx in Production on AWS Ubuntu server
Django is a popular web framework for building web applications in Python. It is fast, secure, and scalable, making it a great choice for businesses of all sizes. If you are looking to deploy your Django application on the cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a great option. AWS offers a range of services that can help you deploy and manage your application with ease.
In this article, we will walk you through the steps to deploy a Django application on AWS using the EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) service using Nginx with gunicorn.
This development server is not scalable and is not suited for production. Hence we need to configure gunicorn to get better scalability and Nginx can be used as a reverse proxy and a web server to serve static files. Let’s get started

Step 1: Create an EC2 Instance
The first step in deploying a Django application on AWS is to create an EC2 instance. An EC2 instance is a virtual server that runs in the AWS cloud. To create an EC2 instance, you will need to log in to your AWS account and go to the EC2 dashboard.
Once you are in the EC2 dashboard, click on the “Launch Instance” button. From there, you will be prompted to select an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). An AMI is a pre-configured virtual machine image that includes the operating system, application server, and other software needed to run your application.
For this tutorial, we will use the Amazon Ubuntu Machine. After selecting the AMI, select the instance type that best suits your needs. For small to medium-sized applications, a t2.micro instance is a good choice.
Step 2: Configure Security Group
After creating the EC2 instance, you must configure the security group. The security group controls the incoming and outgoing traffic to and from your EC2 instance…
