AWS Elastic Beanstalk Overview

Elastic Beanstalk is an AWS service that simplifies the process of deploying and scaling web applications and services. It provides a developer-centric view of application deployment, with AWS managing the underlying infrastructure.

Key Concepts of Elastic Beanstalk:

• Load Balancer (ELB): Distributes incoming application traffic across multiple EC2 instances.
• Auto Scaling Group (ASG): Automatically adjusts the number of EC2 instances to meet the demand.
• EC2 Instances: Virtual servers in AWS's cloud.
• RDS Database: Relational database service for handling database operations.
• ElastiCache: In-memory cache service to enhance application performance.
• Application Versions: Different iterations of your application code.
• Environments: Setups for running different application versions.
• Tiers: There are two tiers, the web server environment tier and the worker environment tier.
• Environment Lifecycle Management: Managing the creation, updating, and deletion of environments.

Deployment Process in Elastic Beanstalk:

1. Create an Application: Define your application within Elastic Beanstalk.
2. Upload a Version: Upload a new iteration of your application code.
3. Launch an Environment: Start an environment with the uploaded application version.
4. Manage Environment Lifecycle: Update, monitor, and maintain the environment.
