I want to ensure that the development environment to work just the same as the production environment. This is to minimise "it works for me" finger-pointing.
Hence my team chose Ubuntu 14.04 as the operating system.
We also want to deploy on AWS.
As I was running through the QwikLabs example on using Elastic Beanstalk, I realized that there is no choice to select Ubuntu 14.04.
How do I go about deploying a Django app on a AWS EC2 instance that is running on Ubuntu 14.04?
Thank you.
You need to set up a custom platform then tell Elastic Beanstalk to use that platform at creation with eb create -p YourPlatformARN
.
To confirm, within the linked docs, Ubuntu is supported through their custom platform service: "... the supported operating systems—Ubuntu, RHEL, or Amazon Linux ..."
AWS limits the operating systems that run under Elastic Beanstalk, as it is Platform as a Service. To get full flexibility on operating systems and configuration, you'd need to use EC2.
There are two suboptimal workarounds, though:
