By combining Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to provide the resizable compute capacity in the cloud with the Python-centric Best Practices LAMP included with ActivePython AMI, ActiveState makes web-scale computing easier and enables enterprises to get to market faster and more securely with all the components and packages needed to enable enterprise-grade security and database connectivity.
The ActivePython Amazon EC2 AMI is designed to provide smooth on-ramps at various stages of adoption:
- Developers needing customizations can use the build and deployment script as a starting point for incremental development, replacing any or all of the components.
- Newcomers to cloud computing can have a live website in minutes and use that as a starting point for learning what is involved.
- Those with existing web pages can drop-in their own HTML and CSS and have them available on-line immediately.
- The Django web framework offers a slew of pre-built applications that can be used to expand a website’s capabilities with minimal effort.
If your website becomes popular, the control script offers simple command-line options for scaling the website across multiple worker instances.
ActivePython AMI also includes:
- Sample Django web application
- Links to PyPM Index to find required Python packages easily
