   2. Actions supported by this task:

       

      Create Environment
      Update environment, if it already exists	Check to apply the Update action, if the environment already exists. Clear to trigger a build failure otherwise. In case of an Update action, only applicable fields are used, i.e. the following fields are ignored: Environment Tier CNAME Prefix Configuration Source Solution Stack Tags
      Application Name	Specify the name of the application that contains the version to be deployed
      Environment Name	Specify an environment name. Must be unique within your account. If the name already exists, the task will fail.
      Environment Tier	Select a Web Server or Worker environment tier. Refer to the Architectural Overview for the differences between these environment tier types.
      Version Label	(Optional) Specify the label of the application version to deploy. If not specified, AWS Elastic Beanstalk attempts to launch the sample application in the container.
      CNAME Prefix	(Optional) Specify the prefix for the CNAME that the environment should attempt to use. Must be unique across all Elastic Beanstalk environments. If the name already exists, the task will fail. If not specified, the CNAME is generated automatically by appending a random alphanumeric string to the environment name.
      Configuration Source	Select a predefined solution stack or saved named template.   There might be more recent solution stacks available, see Supported Platforms – you can enter an updated version manually.
      Advanced Options
      Await Health Status Timeout	Specify how long to await the environment's health status reaching a non grey state (seconds, 0 to skip).
      Verify Green Health Status Period	Specify how long to verify the environment's health status being green (seconds, 0 to skip)?.
      Configuration Option Settings	(Optional) Configure the environment's option settings. Refer to Option Values for available configuration option settings.
      Tags	(Optional) Tag the environment. Refer to Tagging Your Amazon EC2 Resources and Listing and Filtering Your Resources for details. For example: Panel borderColor grey Single Instance – Uses single-instance environment type instead of load-balanced. Instance type – Sets the configurations instance type to the desired size/type. Auto Scaling range – Sets the Auto Scaling group instance number min and max sizes. Worker Tier IAM Profile – Defines the IAM instance profile to use for a worker tier configuration. General Purpose (SSD) storage volume – Defines the root storage volume for the Amazon EC2 instances in the environment as general purpose SSD.
      Description	(Optional) Describe the environment.
      Update   Environment	Info title Unmodified option handling Any option that is not populated in the task will not be updated in the environment (i.e. nothing is sent to Beanstalk for this option, which retains its current value accordingly).
      Environment Name or ID or CNAME	Specify the target environment. You can use its name, ID or the associated CNAME. CNAME needs to be the fully qualified domain name, e.g. "someEnv.elasticbeanstalk.com"
      Version Label	see Create above
      Configuration Source	(Optional) Select a predefined solution stack or saved named template. This enables Upgrading the Elastic Beanstalk Environment's Platform Version. There might be more recent solution stacks available, see Supported Platforms – you can enter an updated version manually.

      Verify Green Health Status Period	see Create above
      Restart Environment
      Environment Name or ID or CNAME	see Update above
      Advanced Options
      Await Health Status Timeout	see Create above
      Verify Green Health Status Period	see Create above
      Swap Environment CNAMEs	Tip The Swap action enables Deploying Versions with Zero Downtime  by swapping the URLs between two environments - this concept is also referred to as a Blue-Green deployments.
      Source Environment Name or ID or CNAME	Specify the source environment. You can use its name, ID or the associated CNAME. CNAME needs to be the fully qualified domain name, e.g. "someEnv.elasticbeanstalk.com"
      Destination Environment Name or ID	Specify the target environment. You can use its name or ID.
      Terminate Environment
      Environment Name or ID or CNAME	see Update above
      Don't fail for non existing environment	Check to not fail the build, if the environment does not exist (anymore). Clear to trigger a build failure otherwise.
      Terminate Resources	Check to also terminate the associated AWS resources. Clear to remove the associated AWS resources from Elastic Beanstalk, but continue to operate them.
