AWS Elastic Bean Stalk

• In the IAAS deployment we create an ec2 instance, install the necessary configuration and then deploy the appplication
• Lets create an ec2 instance to deploy some java based application and deploy the spring pet clinic
• In the case of AWS Lambda, we configure a small functionality and configure trigger and destination
  • trigger will cause the function to be invoked (events and API Gateway)
  • When the lambda function is executed it has two states, one is success and other is failure, we can configure destinations for success and failure
  • Destinations will be other lambda functions or an SNS topic (which can help in sending email, sms etc) or event bridge or SQS
• AWS has a service called as Elastic Beanstalk that helps you deploy and manage applications without having to learn about infrastructure
• Elastic Beanstalk supports applications developed in
  • Go
  • Java
  • .NET
  • Node js
  • PHP
  • Python
  • Ruby
• Lets deploy a sample elastic beanstalk application
• In this approach we are uploading code/binaries then aws is creating the necessary environments for our application to work
• Elastic Beanstalk internally creates the infrastructure necessary to run the application
  • Network components
    • Loadbalancers
    • Security groups
  • EC2 instances
  • Monitoring infrastructure
    • Cloud watch alarms
• As the user of Elastic Beanstalk , we deal with
  • Application
  • Environment
• So In Elastic Beanstalk we need to learn how to manage applications and configure environments and integrate with other AWS Services
  • In Environments we have two environments webserver and worker
  • We need to understand Platforms
  • Elastic Beanstalk CLI
• Elastic Beanstalk is a PAAS (Platform as a Service) offering from AWS
