  • There are many way to migrate to AWS, it depends on which approach you would like to go for.

    1. You have the expertises in managing server and don't mind maintaining it; Use EC2: https://medium.com/saarthi-ai/ec2apachedjango-838e3f6014ab

    2. You just want to deploy it and don't want to deal with server/patching and so on using Elastic BeanStalk: https://www.andrlik.org/dispatches/migrate-django-heroku-elastic-beanstalk/
