[Flask] Serving flask applications on AWS

[Ann Pye]

Thank you so much Josh. I did checkout the same website as well (although
for a diff ubuntu version) and found this description most comprehensive
than all. I was also specifically looking for resources that go into the
"why" of what servers etc to choose etc in addition to the "how" to do. I
want to understand why I would choose nginx and/or gunicorn over other
combinations and "why" I may/may not need to change them in future. Any
info (books?/blogs?) serving that?

Best, AB
