A beginner SysAdmin course for Django web developers. Learn to launch, optimize & scale your app in Amazon Web Services.

Setting up servers for your business or startup can be a tedious and expensive process, particularly when you're just starting out or switching to a new platform. Amazon Web Services is incredible but you can still feel like you're becoming an accidental System Administrator trying to set everything up correctly. However, with the right instructions, you can get up and running in a few hours--saving you time, money, and a headache.

This course will walk you through Amazon's Web Services, with a focus on setting up Django and leveraging their Free Tier to keep your project free (for low-bandwidth uses for one year). We'll start with the very basics of launching and configuring Django on EC2, discussing different ways to connect to your system while keeping it secure, we'll progress to fine tuning your system with fast and efficient content delivery, and finally we'll dive into all the ways that you can scale your system on this incredibly elastic platform.
