How to Configure Celery and Celery Beat with Django deployed on Elastic Beanstalk Amazon Linux 2 with Elasticache as Redis server?

[Edchel Stephen Nini]

Overview:
In our Django web app, there are some background tasks that we want to run every midnight. With this, I tried celery with celery beat.

 I was able to successfully implement background task scheduler with celery beat and worker with Redis as Celery broker following the tutorial on:

1. https://realpython.com/asynchronous-tasks-with-django-and-celery/

2. https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/stable/django/first-steps-with-django.html#using-celery-with-django

3. https://docs.celeryq.dev/en/latest/userguide/periodic-tasks.html

The feature is working locally by running the servers, scheduler and workers accordingly on separate terminals.

Django Server:

`python manage.py runserver`

Redis Server:

`redis-server`

Celery Worker:

`celery -A django_project.celery beat -l info`

Celery Beat Scheduler:

`celery -A django_project worker -l info`

Question:

How do I configure this for deployment in Elastic Beanstalk?

What is the correct way to set this up properly with Elasticache as the Redis server?
