Overview Django is the leading open source Python web framework, the batteries-included framework that powers Instagram, Mozilla, Pinterest, the Washington Post and tens of thousands of production sites. This image delivers a complete, production-grade Django runtime, so a Python web application server is running within minutes of launch with no package installation, virtualenv setup, database provisioning or reverse-proxy wiring required.
What Is Included Django installed in an isolated Python 3.12 virtualenv at /opt/django/venv. gunicorn as the WSGI application server, bound to a Unix socket and managed by systemd. nginx as the reverse proxy on TCP 80, serving static and media files directly. PostgreSQL as the default database, with the psycopg driver. A clean cloudimg starter Django project at /opt/django/cloudimg the customer customizes or replaces with their own application code.
Dedicated Storage Tiers The PostgreSQL data directory and the Django application tier live on separate, independently resizable EBS volumes. The database can be grown without disturbing the application code, and neither tier shares the operating system root volume.
Per-Instance Credentials On First Boot A one-shot systemd service rotates every secret at the first boot of every instance. The Django SECRET_KEY, the PostgreSQL role password and a Django admin superuser password are all freshly generated. ALLOWED_HOSTS is pre-populated with the instance public IP. The rotated credentials are written to /stage/scripts/django-credentials.log with mode 0600.
Ready To Use The Django admin UI is reachable on http:///admin/ the moment the instance is healthy. Connect over SSH, drop a Django app into /opt/django/cloudimg, run python manage.py migrate, and ship. The cloudimg starter project ships with the Django admin enabled and a core app, so customers see a populated admin index out of the box.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). Django, gunicorn, nginx and PostgreSQL are already running. Visit http://<public-ip>/ for the cloudimg starter Django welcome page, or http://<public-ip>/admin/ for the Django admin. Read /stage/scripts/django-credentials.log on the instance for the admin password generated at first boot. Customize the starter project at /opt/django/cloudimg or replace it with your own Django application. Confirm the installation with: /opt/django/venv/bin/python -c 'import django; print(django.get_version())'.
