Deploying a spring boot application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk

• Ensure you have the code which runs locally.
• Cross check your applicaton by running mvn spring-boot:run
• Once the application is running locally, execute eb init and then select the environment details like region, key pair etc.
• eb will create a config.yml in the .elasticbeanstalk folder
• Add the deploy section to the config file with jar file path
  
• By default elastic beanstalk will create an nginx server which will act as proxy and forward the request on 80 port to 5000 port, so if necessary add application.properties file
  
• Now create the environment by executing eb create -s
• Once the environment is ready access the endpoint
  
• If you make changes in the code, then ensure they are running locally and deploy using eb deploy
• Once you are done eb terminate <environment-name>
