Elastic Beanstalk Practical

Introduction

In the widget below, we’ll take the following steps to showcase the creation of an Elastic Beanstalk application:

• Create an IAM role and an EC2 instance profile.
• Link the IAM role to the EC2 instance profile. Elastic Beanstalk requires an EC2 instance profile to create EC2 instances.
• Create an Elastic Beanstalk application and application version.
• Create a configuration file specifying the instance type and other ELB health check parameters.
• Create the Elastic Beanstalk environment with the configuration file. This is where the actual application is deployed on the EC2 instances.

Note: We may need to type Q in the terminal if it gets stuck on long outputs. Also, running and deleting this practical may take a lot of time because Elastic Beanstalk needs to provision and delete many resources (like EC2 instances and security groups).
