Deploying Flask on AWS linked in QuickStart? #868

Closed lashex closed 10 years ago

lashex commented 11 years ago

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a specific reason that the ability for Flask to deployed to AWS using Elastic Beanstalk was not something that was captured here in the QuickStart guide. http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/quickstart/#deploying-to-a-web-server

...specifically the ability to deploy Flask in Beanstalk is documented in this location in AWS' documentation. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_Python_flask.html

It seems like a nice, more direct help for folks if the Quick Start just had a link to the AWS documentation. I'd be willing to make the change to the QuickStart myself if that would help.

The hosted platforms mentioned have a free plan, which is why they are of particular interest for newcomers that don't want to spend any money for small experiments. AWS only offers a time limited free plan which is I think a reason for not listing it.

Ok - seems like a strange criteria - but a one-year free tier on AWS seems beneficial. Anyway, thanks for reviewing.

Yes, seems strange. Thanks for reviewing.
