We are excited to continue our work on BeanStalk with the introduction of a range of great new features. If you are a Python shop you'll learn how BeanStalk now supports Python containers and the Django and Flask frameworks. Hear about BeanStalk integration with RDS and how custom configuration of containers is possible through simple configuration files.

RDS

26. Option to
create RDS at
application
launch:

27. Grab connection details for use:
String dbName =
System.getProperty("RDS_DB_NAME");
String userName = System.getProperty("RDS_USERNAME");
String password = System.getProperty("RDS_PASSWORD");
String hostname = System.getProperty("RDS_HOSTNAME");
String port = System.getProperty("RDS_PORT");

28. Grab connection details from os.environ’s
import os
if 'RDS_HOSTNAME' in os.environ:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': os.environ['RDS_DB_NAME'],
'USER': os.environ['RDS_USER'],
'PASSWORD’: os.environ['RDS_PASSWORD'],
'HOST': os.environ['RDS_HOSTNAME'],
'PORT': os.environ['RDS_PORT'],
}
}

29. Add “.ebextensions” directory
Add “python.config” file
commands:
syncdb:
command: "django-admin.py syncdb --noinput"
leader_only: true
option_settings:
"aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:python:environment":
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: "mysite.settings"
"aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python":
WSGIPath: "mysite/wsgi.py"

30. RDS populated from Django model
(use Django Evolution etc to upate when model changes)
commands:
syncdb:
command: "django-admin.py syncdb --noinput"

option_settings:
"aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:python:environment":
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: "mysite.settings"
"aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python":
WSGIPath: "mysite/wsgi.py"

31. Update database.yml to include generated RDS
details:
production:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
database: <%= ENV['RDS_DB_NAME'] %>
username: <%= ENV['RDS_USERNAME'] %>
password: <%= ENV['RDS_PASSWORD'] %>
host: <%= ENV['RDS_HOSTNAME'] %>
port: <%= ENV['RDS_PORT'] %>

32. Add “.ebextensions” directory
Add “.config” file
# Configure third-party service credentials
# Run rake tasks before an application deployment
container_commands:
01deploy:
command: rake my_deployment_tasks
# in environment variables:
option_settings:
- option_name: AIRBRAKE_API_KEY
value: MYAPIKEY

33. RDS populated from rails model
