django support on aws

I'm building a web app with Django 1.6 and was looking to use AWS with it. I saw AWS has been tested with Django 1.4.1 and 1.3.3 but couldn't find if AWS supported Django 1.6.

If anyone has any experience with AWS for Django and could tell me if it would be safe to use Django 1.6 with AWS that would be great.

Simply put - AWS has linux servers in the cloud (EC2) - IaaS - that can be used just as you would use a physical, standalone linux installation. So feel free to install whatever version of Django you like, as long as that linux flavor supports that version, AWS EC2 will support it too. :-)

By the way, you can opt for AWS's free tier that gives you access to almost all AWS services for free (for a year!) and you can try and see for yourself if that would work for you.

AWS - specifically, Amazon EC2 - does not care what version of Django you run on it. It's infrastructure-as-a-service, not platform-as-a-service like Heroku or Gondor, so it's up to you to install and configure your hosting environment. So you can use whatever version you want of software at any level of the stack, from the OS up to Django.

If you're not sure what you're doing, though, one of those PaaS companies would probably be better for you.
