Deploying web applications to the cloud with Python
summary
Shows how boto plus fabric actually creates and configures a full three‑tier Django deployment: code checks out from GitHub, AMIs (Ubuntu 10.10) boot with cloud‑init keys, security groups and elastic IPs are assigned, packages and Postgres are installed, and a single command (Fab whip up full system) brings the whole cluster online in minutes. Deployment is repeatable and scriptable, builds report success or failure with logs, backups use nightly DB dumps plus EBS snapshots, and recovery is scripted but not fully automatic. Alternatives listed: Chef/Puppet, libcloud, Vagrant, Eucalyptus/OpenStack.
