The document provides an overview of AWS Elastic Beanstalk, a service for managing application lifecycles with automation, allowing developers to deploy and manage applications on the AWS cloud easily. It outlines the benefits of using AWS for cloud computing, including scalability, cost-effectiveness, and integrated solutions, while emphasizing the importance of application management. Key features highlighted include zero downtime deployment, ease of use, and the ability to scale applications from small to large complexities.

4. Benefit from economies of scale;
Growth, Ability to quickly scale in and out;
Stop spending with physical infrastructure, giving yourself
more time to focus on your business;
Stop guessing capacity, it’s all about elastic things;
Go global in minutes;
Trade capital expense for variable expense.
First of all, why Cloud Computing?

5. Real on-demand promise, hour is your billing time unit;
The Free Tier;
Community, support, official trainings with certifications,
webinars, forums, high dissemination, big companies are
using;
Reliability, lots of 9’s around;
Documented API’s everywhere and CLI;
Integration…
Ok, got Cloud. But why AWS?

6. Integrated solutions

7. … integrated;
… organized;
… safe;
… easy to maintain;
All together

8. Let’s talk about application management and lifecycle

9. Manually configure AWS products (that’s the easiest part);
Update (and maintain) OS packages;
Download app packages (and configure them);
Configure Web Server (bindings, htdocs, bla bla bla);
Deployment (find an automated solution);
Monitoring;
Backups, scaling, SysAdmin jobs …
Configuring an ordinary Web server …

10. Energy to code?
What about your customers?
And the competitors?
Time’s running out. Is it ready?
Repeatedly, this causes fatigue.
Very fatigue and boring …

11. AWS Elastic Beanstalk ::
There’s a better way to do that !

13. Every DevOps’ dream!;
High Level Application/Environment management service,
orchestration tool;
Deploy and manage your applications in AWS Cloud;
“Easy to begin, Impossible to outgrow”;
Install and maintain AWS services for you;
You are always in control, it’s not PaaS by definition.
What Elastic Beanstalk is ?

14. Overall:
The Beanstalk way
Amazon Elastic Beanstalk - simple workflow diagram
Create

Upload

Launch
Environment
Manage
Environment
update app version
(same environment)
deploy new version
(same environment)

15. The Beanstalk way
demo.start_session();

16. What is Beanstalk doing right now ?
New Beanstalk
Application
you
“next…
next…
launch.”
Route53 (AWS account)
myapp.elasticbeanstalk.com
60s TTL

17. Under the hood
Cloud Formation
(where magic
happens)
New Beanstalk

“next…

18. What if it fails in the middle ?

20. Back to Demo
demo.reattach_session();

21. Easy and simple to use and maintain;
Save your time;
Don’t worry about the infrastructure under the hood;
Fits from small/simple to large/complex applications;
Scaled by default;
Eclipse/VisualStudio Toolkit;
Zero downtime deployment (killer feature!).
Where does Beanstalk really shine ?

22. URL swapping:
Zero downtime deployment
your
Route 53
mywebsite.com
(CNAME)
myapp.elasticbeanstalk.com
myapp.elasticbeanstalk.com myapp2.elasticbeanstalk.com
v1.0 v1.1
load saved
environment
then deploy
60s TTL
(where the “zero downtime” magic happens)

23. Changes should be done in Beanstalk, not in
automated parts;
Don’t manually change OS files (unless you know what
you’re doing);
Be careful with URL swapping if you use old JVM’s.
If you are not using your application or environment,
don’t forget to terminate it;
Keep an eye on it !

24. No additional charges for using AWS Elastic Beanstalk;
You only pay for the underlying AWS resources that
your application consumes (AWS automatically sign
you up for these services);
Free Tier…
What much does it cost?

25. Thank you!
questions ?
