Goal

• Get the Docker stack running on AWS EC2 for the first time.

Description

• After the team understands the basics and prepares the project, we can deploy the containers to EC2. This is the first real AWS deployment step.

Why this matters

• This is the point where the project moves from local Docker to a real cloud server.
• What to do
• create or access the EC2 instance
• install Docker and Docker Compose
• copy the project to EC2
• provide the required environment variables
• start the containers
