First, you’ll want to store your Django project in an AWS CodeCommit repository. This is where you’ll push your code changes.
Next, set up an AWS CodeBuild project. This service will take the code from your repository and build a Docker image out of it.
The build specification file (buildspec.yml) will define the build process. After the Docker image is built, it will be pushed to an AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) repository. AWS CodeDeploy can then take this Docker image from ECR and deploy it to an AWS ECS cluster. The deployment process is defined in an AppSpec file. If you have static files in your Django project, you can configure Django to store these files in an S3 bucket. You’ll need to set up your settings.py file to use django-storages and boto3 to handle static files.
Finally, you’ll tie all these services together using AWS CodePipeline. The pipeline will automatically detect changes to your CodeCommit repository, build a new Docker image with CodeBuild, and deploy the image to ECS with CodeDeploy.
Let me know if you need a sample of buildspec.yml.
