Amazon Elastic Beanstalk Documentation

Amazon Elastic Beanstalk supports web applications written in many languages and frameworks. It requires minimal code changes to go from development machine to the cloud. You can choose from a variety of application platforms such as Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, Python, Go, and Docker to deploy your web applications.

Amazon Elastic Beanstalk is designed to help you deploy your code through the Amazon Web Services Management Console, Elastic Beanstalk Command Line Interface, Visual Studio, and Eclipse. You can pick from multiple deployment policies – all at once, rolling, rolling with an additional batch, immutable, and blue/green. These policy choices help you to choose between speed and safety of deploying your applications while reducing the administrative burden.

Amazon Elastic Beanstalk provides a unified user interface to monitor and manage the health of your applications.

Elastic Beanstalk collects key metrics and attributes to determine the health of your application. The Elastic Beanstalk Health Dashboard helps you to visualize overall application health and customize application health checks, health permissions, and health reporting in one unified interface.

Elastic Beanstalk is integrated with Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon X-Ray. You can leverage monitoring dashboard to view key performance metrics such as latency, CPU utilization, and response codes. You can also set up CloudWatch alarms to get notified when metrics exceed chosen thresholds.

You can choose to have Amazon Elastic Beanstalk update to the latest version of your Elastic Beanstalk environment using Managed Platform Updates. The Immutable deployment mechanism helps to apply updates for new patches and minor platform versions in a safe manner to minimize end users impact. For on-going management, you can also customize application properties, create alarms, and enable e-mail notifications via Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).

Amazon Elastic Beanstalk leverages Elastic Load Balancing and Auto Scaling to scale your application in and out based on your application's specific needs. In addition, multiple availability zones are designed to give you an option to improve application reliability and availability by running in more than one zone. 

With Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, you can select the Amazon Web Services resources, such as Amazon EC2 instance type including Spot instances, that are optimal for your application. Additionally, Elastic Beanstalk lets you retain control over the Amazon Web Services resources powering your application. If you decide you want to take over some (or all) of the elements of your infrastructure, you can do so by using Elastic Beanstalk's management capabilities.

Elastic Beanstalk satisfies many of the criteria for ISO, PCI, SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 compliance along with the criteria for HIPAA eligibility. This means applications running on Elastic Beanstalk can be made to process regulated financial data or protected health information (PHI). 

Amazon Graviton arm64-based processors deliver superior performance for your cloud workloads running in Amazon EC2. With Amazon Graviton on Elastic Beanstalk, you can select EC2 instance types to optimize the needs of your workloads and benefit from improved performance over a comparable x86-based processor.
