Elastic Beanstalk

-

 Elastic Beanstalk :


 Elastic Beanstalk is a platform within AWS that is used for deploying and scaling web applications. In simple terms this platform as a service (PaaS) takes your application code and deploys it while provisioning the supporting architecture and compute resources required for your code to run. Elastic Beanstalk also fully manages the patching and security updates for those provisioned resources. 

There are many PaaS solutions in the cloud computing space including Redhat Open Shift, Google App Engine, Scalingo, Python Anywhere, Azure App Service, however AWS Elastic Beanstalk remains one of the leading PaaS choices among app developers.

There is no charge to use Elastic Beanstalk to deploy your applications, you are only charged for the resources that are created to support your application.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk allows you to quickly deploy applications and services without having to worry about configuring underlying resources, services, operating systems or web servers.

Elastic Beanstalk takes care of the hosting infrastructure, coding language interpreter, operating system, security, https service and application layer. All you need to worry about is writing your code.

You can develop code in a number of languages which is then zipped up and the zip file is used when instantiating a new elastic beanstalk instance.

Supported language platforms include:

  • Ruby
  • Python
  • PHP
  • Go
  • Node.js
  • Java 
  • .NET on Windows Server IIS
  • .NET Core on Linux
  • Packer Builder
  • Glassfish
  • Docker
  • Tomcat

The web servers provisioned will be familiar to most web developers and include Apache, Tomcat, Nginx and IIS

Procedure:

 Step 1: is to create a new web app and give it a unique name. 

Step2: Now you need to select a platform for the build.

Step 3: Select a platform, a platform branch (o/s) and a platform version

Step 4: At this point you can select a sample application which we’ll do in this example.  It's at this stage you can upload your own code.If you are uploading your own code, it will need to be a ZIP or WAR file either located on your local computer or stored in a public S3 bucket.  At this point you will need to allocate a version label to your code which needs to be unique.

Step 5: Elastic Beanstalk will start to create all the required resources and display a status screen with the log of the supporting resources being created.

Step 6:You can now open the URL displayed above the health check to open the application.

  Virtual Private Cloud:      Amazon VPC lets you provision a logically isolated section of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define. You have complete control over your virtual networking environment, including a selection of your own IP address ranges, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways. You can also create a hardware Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection between your corporate datacenter and your VPC and leverage the AWS cloud as an extension of your corporate datacenter. Components of Amazon VPC Amazon VPC comprises a variety of objects that will be familiar to customers with existing networks: A Virtual Private Cloud:  A logically isolated virtual network in the AWS cloud. You define a VPC’s IP address space from the ranges you select . Subnet : A segment of a VPC’s IP address range where you can place groups of isolated resources. Internet Gateway...

 S3 Replication: S3 Replication is a fully-managed feature available for Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) customers. It can automatically replicate S3 objects to help you reduce costs, protect your data, and achieve compliance with regulatory requirements. Here are the two  S3 storage  replication options: Cross-Region Replication (CRR) —copies S3 objects across multiple Amazon Regions (ARs), representing geographically separate Amazon data centers. Same-Region Replication (SRR) —copies S3 objects between buckets in different availability zones (AZs), which are separate data centers in the same AR. PProcedure: 1. Go to the AWS S3 management console, sign in to your account, and select the name of the source bucket. 2. Go to the  Management  tab in the menu, and choose the  Replication  option. Next, choose  Add rule . 3. Under the  Set resource  configuration, choose the  Entire bucket  option. Note that when replicating buck...
