          Description

          Currently, we have to manually log in to appstore instances and run updates by hand. This is fragile and unsafe. What happens if we make a mistake? Will we lose all our users' data?

          To solve this:

          • Let's develop a strategy that uses ansible to deploy resources.
          • Let's also figure out how we can re-deploy an App Store onto a new EC2 but use the existing database and S3 bucket or a copy of same.

          See linked issue for training materials to get up to speed on ansible.

                Currently looking at this tutorial. Will update this ticket with more resources as I come across. I'll be trying to set up the procedure in my EC2 as well.

                As I was going through the video, I came across a more simple way to deploy our Django application, ie by creating a Docker Container [Script File which will take care of everything]

                Tutorial : https://puppet.com/docs/pipelines-for-apps/free/docker-python.html

                If we are not tightly bound to use Ansible this is one of the options we can consider and this will be quick when it comes to developing.

                Ansible tutorial I will be trying today:

                https://www.guguweb.com/2017/05/02/how-to-deploy-a-django-project-in-15-minutes-with-ansible/

                The Link at the End of this tutorial explains about continuous deployment.
