Setting up a Django + MySQL Development Environment on AWS EC2 Linux 2

In this video, I show you how to set up a Django + MySQL development environment on an AWS EC2 Linux 2 instance. I’ll take you through the process of setting up the EC2 instance and enabling SSH connections to it. We’ll also create the RDS DB instance. And then set up security groups to make our connections more secure. And then I’ll show you what components need to be installed in order for your Django project to be able to connect to a MySQL database, along with what configurations to add in settings.py. And finally, I’ll show you how to run the test server so that it can be publicly accessible.
