In this tutorial, you deploy a Flask application to the cloud using AWS Elastic Beanstalk service for provisioning all cloud resources you need.
Beanstalk is a managed service that enables deploying web applications fast and easily to the AWS cloud. With Beanstalk, you don’t need to interact with other services since Beanstalk automates the deployment process for you.
In this video, you are going to learn:
