Top tips for developing and deploying on AWS
summary
Claims that AWS pushes ~280 feature updates a year and has capacity five times bigger than 14 major competitors, then maps concrete Django deployment tools: use Elastic Beanstalk for quick app deploys, use CloudFormation (or troposphere) to script stacks, put secrets on IAM roles attached to EC2 instead of in code, prefer S3 + CloudFront for static assets, RDS for managed databases, ElastiCache for memcached/Redis, and enable MFA, per-user accounts and key rotation to avoid compromise.
