Comment: Added tip regarding recommendation of rolling updates.

You can use the Elastic Beanstalk Environment task to create, update, rebuild, restart, swap or terminate an AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment (see Deploying to AWS Elastic Beanstalk for an overview of the Elastic Beanstalk component lifecycle and deployment workflow).

Configuration

Tip

To ease common scenarios, the Create action allows to Update [the] environment, if it already exists.

Tip
titleDocker Support

You can also deploy AWS Elastic Beanstalk applications from Docker containers - select an appropriate solution stack from Configuration Source as follows:

Info
titleDeployment Cycle

The required Version Label stems from an Application Version previously provisioned - assuming an Application already exists, the typical deployment cycle is as follows:

To configure an AWS Elastic Beanstalk Environment task:

  1. Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
  2. Click the name of an existing AWS Elastic Beanstalk Environment task, or click Add Task and then AWS Elastic Beanstalk Environment to create a new task.

  3. Complete the following settings:

    1. Common to all tasks

    2. Actions supported by this task:

       

      Create Environment

      		 
      Update environment, if it already existsCheck to apply the Update action, if the environment already exists. Clear to trigger a build failure otherwise.
      • (info) 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.

      • (warning) 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.

      Version Label

      (Optional) Specify the label of the application version to deploy.

      • (warning) 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.

      • (warning) Must be unique across all Elastic Beanstalk environments. If the name already exists, the task will fail.
      • (info) If not specified, the CNAME is generated automatically by appending a random alphanumeric string to the environment name.
      Configuration SourceSelect a predefined solution stack or saved named template.
      •  (info) 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, default is 600, use 0 to skip).
      Verify Green Health Status PeriodSpecify how long to verify the environment's health status being green (seconds, default is 180, use 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
        borderColorgrey
        • 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
      titleUnmodified 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.

      • (info) CNAME needs to be the fully qualified domain name, e.g. "someEnv.elasticbeanstalk.com"

      Swap Environment CNAMEs

      Tipinfo

      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. 

      Tip
      titleAWS recommends rolling updates

      If your application architecture and deployment scenario allow to use rolling updates, AWS nowadays recommends this approach over a CNAME swap. In case, you can specify the desired deployment method via the Configuration Option Settings in section Advanced Options of the Create and Update actions. Refer to Deploying Applications to AWS Elastic Beanstalk Environments for a comparison of available deployment methods, to Deployment Policies and Settings for more details on rolling updates, and to The aws:elasticbeanstalk:command namespace for the available configuration options.

      Source Environment Name or ID or CNAME 

      Specify the source environment. You can use its name, ID or the associated CNAME.

      • (info) CNAME needs to be the fully qualified domain name, e.g. "someBlueEnv.elasticbeanstalk.com"
      Destination Environment Name or ID or CNAME
      		Specify the target environment. You can use its name, ID or the associated CNAME.
      • (info) CNAME needs to be the fully qualified domain name, e.g. "someGreenEnv.elasticbeanstalk.com"

      Terminate Environment

      		 
      Environment Name or ID or CNAME 

      see Update above

      Don't fail for non existing environmentCheck 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.
