Summary

By following this tutorial, you can quickly deploy your functional Flask application to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and make it available on the web without having to constantly run it on your local computer. To do this, you'll need a GitHub repository with your working Flask application, a free AWS account, and a credit card for AWS billing purposes. You'll also need Tmux to run the application in a terminal session, create a user account, navigate the EC2 dashboard, launch an Amazon EC2 instance, configure its security group, and launch and create a key pair. After deploying your application on the EC2 instance, you can transfer your project files to the remote host, deploy the application using tmux, and make it available on the web by appending 8080 to your public IPv4 Public IP address.
