AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides an easy way to quickly deploy, manage, and scale applications in the AWS cloud. Through interactive demos, this session will discuss the best practices for deploying and scaling your application, provisioning additional AWS resources and performance tuning. We will also do a deep dive into the recently launched Elastic Beanstalk features and cover some of best practices for using Elastic Beanstalk. This session will benefit both new and experienced users of Elastic Beanstalk.

- 4. What is Elastic Beanstalk? AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an easy-to-use service for deploying, scaling, and managing web applications and services.
- 5. AWS Elastic Beanstalk vs. Do It Yourself Your code HTTP Server Application Server Language Interpreter Operating System Host Elastic Beanstalk configures each EC2 instance in your environment with the components necessary to run applications for the selected platform. Focus on building your application Provided by you Provided and managed by AWS Elastic Beanstalk (EB) On-instance configuration
- 6. AWS Elastic Beanstalk vs. Do It Yourself • Preconfigured Infrastructure • Single Instance (Dev, Low Cost) • Load Balanced, Auto Scaling (Production) • Web & Worker tiers • Elastic Beanstalk provisions necessary infrastructure resources such as the load balancer, Auto Scaling group, security groups, database (optional), etc. • Provides a unique domain name for your application (e.g.: youapp.regionx.elasticbeanstalk.com) Infrastructure stack
- 7. Elastic Beanstalk benefits Fast & simple to begin Developer productivity/agility Impossible to outgrow Complete resource control No additional charge to use Elastic Beanstalk. You pay only for underlying AWS resources (i.e., EC2 instances, S3, etc.)

- 15. Sample application details • Application dependency management • Configuring/customizing an environment using ebextensions • Choosing a remote source repository: AWS CodeCommit • Adding additional AWS resources (e.g.: DynamoDB, SNS, SQS etc.)
- 16. Demo
- 17. Custom Platform • Create and manage your own custom Elastic Beanstalk platforms • Get greater control over the AMI, metadata, and configuration • Enforce and manage standardization/best practices across environments (without the need for .ebextensions)
- 18. Custom Platform Examples: • Create your own platforms on Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise • Customize your instances with languages/frameworks currently not supported by Elastic Beanstalk e.g. Rust, Sinatra etc. • Create your own platform that uses encrypted AMIs or custom disk layouts e.g. multiple volumes, EFS mounts etc.
- 19. Custom Platform Creating a Custom Platform: • Uses Packer: an open-source tool for creating machine images • EB CLI, API, SDK • Platform Definition archive • Packer template (Platform name, base AMI) • Platform definition file: platform.yml (metadata: OS, language/framework) • Builder (runtime scripts, hooks, configuration) • EB CLI • eb platform init • eb platform create
- 20. Custom Platform Using a Custom Platform in an environment: • AWS Management console, EB CLI, API, SDK • EB CLI: • eb init • select option “Custom Platform” for the question “select a platform” • eb create • Console:
