Activity: AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Overview

This activity provides you with an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account where an AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment has been pre-created for you. You will deploy code to it and observe the AWS resources that make up the Elastic Beanstalk environment.

Accessing the AWS Management Console

Start Lab by clicking the:

Wait until you see the Lab status: in creation message. 

Now, click the AWS

Task 1: Access the Elastic Beanstalk environment

In the AWS Management Console, from the Services menu, choose Elastic Beanstalk.

5. 
   Note: If the status in the Health column is not Green, it has not finished starting yet. Wait a few moments, and it should change to Green.
   
   
6. 
   
   
   
   

   Notice that the page shows that the health of your application is Green (good).
7. The Elastic Beanstalk environment is ready to host an application. However, it does not yet have running code.
   
   
   
   
   
   

   Near the top of the page, click the URL (the URL ends in elasticbeanstalk.com).

   
   

   When you click the URL, a new browser tab opens. However, you should see that it displays an "HTTP Status 404 - Not Found" message. This behavior is expected because this application server doesn't have an application running on it yet. Return to the Elastic Beanstalk console.

Task 2: Deploy a sample application to Elastic Beanstalk

To download a sample application, click this link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/samples/java-tomcat-v3.zip

Back in the Elastic Beanstalk Dashboard, click Upload and Deploy.

Click Browse or Choose File, then navigate to and open the java-tomcat-v3.zip file that you just downloaded.

10. 
    
11. 
    
    
12. 
    
    
    
    
    

    After the deployment is complete, click the URL value near the top of the screen (or, if you still have the browser tab that displayed the 404 status, refresh that page).
    
    
    

    
    

    Back in the Elastic Beanstalk console, click Configuration in the left pane.
13. Notice the details here.
    For example, in the Instances row, it indicates the Monitoring interval, EC2 Security groups, and Root volume type details of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances that are hosting your web application.
    
    
    
    
    
    

    Task 3: Explore the AWS resources that support your application

    
    
    
    
    
    

Issues encountered:

Since I am using iMac I am having hard time downloading the zip file because iMac automatically unzip the file after download. Good thing is you can just copy the zip file then paste it.

Lesson learned:

I have learned to this activity that AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an service for deploying and scaling the web applications and other services developed with Java, . NET, PHP, Node. js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker on familiar servers such as Apache, Nginx, Passenger, and IIS.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a compute services that makes it easier for all the developers to quickly deploy and manage applications which you upload to the AWS cloud.
