AWS Elastic Beanstalk

AWS PaaS that deploys and manages web applications on EC2, load balancers and Auto Scaling from uploaded code.

Definition

Elastic Beanstalk provisions and manages the underlying resources for supported platforms such as Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, Ruby and Docker. Developers upload code; the service handles capacity, load balancing, scaling, health monitoring and platform updates while keeping full access to underlying resources.

Example

eb deploy pushes a new version of a Node.js app, which Beanstalk rolls out using an immutable deployment policy.

Exam tip

Know the deployment policies: all at once, rolling, rolling with additional batch, immutable and traffic splitting; blue/green uses environment URL swap.
