Amazon Elastic Beanstalk now supports functionality that makes it easy to update a Beanstalk environment status when it enters into an invalid state during an update failure.

With Amazon Elastic Beanstalk you can easily deploy and manage applications in Amazon Web Services without worrying about the infrastructure that runs those applications. However, there can be situations where a Beanstalk environment can become unavailable when the stack associated with it goes into an invalid status. Previously, when that happened, customers needed to contact Amazon Web Services support to update their Beanstalk environment status in order to proceed. Now, Beanstalk will prompt you with a request to fix your underlying stack. You'll be directed to a guide that walks you through the process step-by-step. Once you've made the adjustments, simply retry the request. Beanstalk will then automatically set the environment to available and complete the operation, minimizing downtime and complexity.

This functionality is now available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) region, operated by Sinnet and in Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) region operated by NWCD.  

For more information about the recovery process see the Elastic Beanstalk developer guide. To learn more about Elastic Beanstalk, visit the Elastic Beanstalk product page.
