How Can I set environment variables on AWS EC2?

Question

I am working on a Django application to be hosted on AWS EC2. Some of my variables are sensitive and have to be excluded from version control. Some are not sensitive but the values vary from environment to environment. To achieve this, I am saving the values in the environment and accessing via the code. CircleCI provides a way of achieving this by Environment Variables of the project. Heroku also provides similar functionality.

Please how can I set these variables in AWS Ec2?
