Test-Driven Development with Python, 3rd Edition

Chapter 11. Getting A Server Ready For Deployment

If you have comments about how we might improve the content and/or examples in this book, or if you notice missing material within this chapter, please reach out to the author at [e-mail].

This chapter is all about getting ready for our deployment. We’re going to spin up an actual server, make it accessible on the Internet with a real domain name, and setup the authentication and credentials we need to be able to control it remotely with SSH and Ansible.

I hope you enjoy the new version!
