AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Installing MySQL Python package for Django app

Hello.

Is it possible to deploy as per the following documentation and still use it?
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create-deploy-python-django.html

@ Riku_Kobayashi

The link works until I use the MySQL.

I can deploy without any problem when I use the following settings:

DATABASES = {
    "default": {
        "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.sqlite3",
        "NAME": BASE_DIR / "db.sqlite3",
    }
}

BUT when I try to use the following settings and try to deploy using EB CLI, I get a "502 Bad Gateway nginx" error. Interestingly, the following settings work on my localhost without any problem.

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': '<actual_database_name>',
        'USER': '<actual_user_name>',
        'PASSWORD': '<actual_database_password>',
        'HOST': 'mysql-rdbms.blah-blah.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com',
        'PORT': '3306',
    }
}

As soon as I try to use the MySQL part, I cannot deploy.

Also please note that there is no mention of MySQL in the following document: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create-deploy-python-django.html

So, my problem is - there is no MySQL Package on AWS Elastic Beanstalk EC instance and I do not find a way to install it on AWS Elastic Beanstalk EC instance.

You could try the follow yum package settings, the package names seem to be changed every now and again.

packages:  
  yum:
    python3-devel: []
    mariadb-devel.x86_64: []
    mariadb.x86_64: []

I am also stuck on the same issue, but just noticed the difference in your .config file
