When to use amazon machine image in elastic beanstalk?


Asked by Coen Reid on Nov 28, 2021 FAQ



When you create an AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment, you can specify an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to use instead of the standard Elastic Beanstalk AMI included in your platform version.
Thereof,
The Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is the Amazon Linux or Windows Server machine image that Elastic Beanstalk uses to launch Amazon EC2 instances in your environment. Elastic Beanstalk provides machine images that contain the tools and resources required to run your application.
Moreover, AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an easy-to-use service for deploying and scaling web applications and services. AWS SAM CLI to deploy the solution. See the installing the AWS CLI page for instructions if needed. Either the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or the AWS Tools for PowerShell should be installed and configured on your machine.
Likewise,
Compare that to custom images, where you modify an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for use with an existing Elastic Beanstalk platform, and Elastic Beanstalk still provides the platform scripts and controls the platform's software stack.
Accordingly,
It creates the EC2 instance, it installs an execution environment on these machines and will deploy your application for you (Elastic Beanstalk support Java, Node, Python, Docker and many others) Behind the scenes, Elastic Beanstalk creates regular EC2 instances that you will see in your AWS Console.
