Complete Tutorial for Elastic Beanstalk | AWS Tutorial by Shiva Concept

 

What is AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a fully managed service that makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale web applications and services. You can simply upload your code, and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment, from capacity provisioning, load balancing, and auto-scaling to application health monitoring.

Step-by-Step Guide to AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Step 1: Set Up Your AWS Environment

1. Create an AWS Account: If you don't have an AWS account, .

2. Sign in to AWS Management Console: Go to the and sign in with your credentials.

Step 2: Create an Elastic Beanstalk Environment

1. Open Elastic Beanstalk Console:

   • Navigate to the .

   • Click on "Create New Application".

2. Name Your Application:

   • Enter a name for your application and click "Create Application".

3. Create an Environment:

   • Click on "Create Environment" and choose "Web Server Environment".

   • Click "Select" to proceed.

4. Configure Environment:

   • Platform: Choose your application platform (e.g., Node.js, Python, Java).

   • Application code: Choose to upload your code (ZIP file or from an existing repository).

   • Instance type: Select the instance type for your application. The default is often a good starting point.

   • Environment settings: Configure additional settings as needed (e.g., database, VPC).

Step 3: Upload Your Application

1. Prepare Your Application:

   • Package your application code into a ZIP file.

2. Upload Application:

   • In the Elastic Beanstalk console, click on "Upload and Deploy".

   • Upload your ZIP file and click "Deploy".

3. Deploy Application:

   • Elastic Beanstalk will automatically deploy your application to the environment.

Step 4: Monitor and Manage Your Environment

1. Monitor Environment:

   • Use the Elastic Beanstalk console to monitor the health and performance of your environment.

   • Check metrics and logs to ensure your application is running smoothly.

2. Manage Environment:

   • Scaling: Adjust the number of instances to handle traffic.

   • Software updates: Update the platform version or application code.

   • Environment variables: Configure environment variables for your application.

Step 5: Update Your Application

1. Upload New Version:

   • Upload a new version of your application by uploading a new ZIP file.

2. Deploy New Version:

   • Elastic Beanstalk will deploy the new version and handle the traffic shifting to ensure zero downtime.

Step 6: Clean Up Resources

1. Delete Environment:

   • When you're done, delete the environment to avoid incurring charges.

2. Delete Application:

   • Delete the application to remove all associated resources.

Definitions of Key Concepts

• Application: A collection of Elastic Beanstalk components, including environments, versions, and configurations.

• Environment: An isolated runtime for deploying a web application. It includes an Amazon EC2 instance, an Elastic Load Balancer, and auto-scaling groups.

• Environment Configuration: Settings that define how the environment behaves. It includes instance type, scaling settings, and environment variables.

• Version: A specific iteration of your application's code.

Deploying a PHP Application with AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Step 1: Set Up Your AWS Environment

1. Create an AWS Account: If you don't have an AWS account, sign up for one.

2. Sign in to AWS Management Console: Go to the AWS Management Console and sign in with your credentials.

Step 2: Create an Elastic Beanstalk Environment

1. Open Elastic Beanstalk Console: Go to the Elastic Beanstalk console and click on "Create New Application".

2. Name Your Application: Give your application a name and click "Create Application".

3. Create an Environment: Click on "Create Environment" and choose "Web Server Environment".

4. Configure Environment: Configure the environment settings, such as the platform (e.g., PHP), instance type, and other options.

Step 3: Prepare Your PHP Application

1. Create a PHP Application: Write your PHP application code. For simplicity, let's create a basic "Hello World" application:

   php

   <?php
   echo "Hello, World!";
   ?>
   

2. Package Your Application: Zip your application files into a single ZIP file.

Step 4: Upload Your Application to Elastic Beanstalk

1. Upload Application: In the Elastic Beanstalk console, click on "Upload and Deploy" and upload your ZIP file.

2. Deploy Application: Elastic Beanstalk will automatically deploy your application to the environment.

Step 5: Monitor and Manage Your Environment

1. Monitor Environment: Use the Elastic Beanstalk console to monitor the health and performance of your environment.

2. Manage Environment: You can manage your environment by scaling instances, updating software, and configuring environment variables.

Step 6: Update Your Application

1. Upload New Version: Upload a new version of your application by uploading a new ZIP file.

2. Deploy New Version: Elastic Beanstalk will deploy the new version and handle the traffic shifting to ensure zero downtime.

Step 7: Clean Up Resources

1. Delete Environment: When you're done, delete the environment to avoid incurring charges.

2. Delete Application: Delete the application to remove all associated resources.
