Elastic Beanstalk works on which cloud service model?

In the context of AWS, the AWS elastic beanstalk would operate under the platform as a service model. In this particular model, the service would provide a platform that would allow customers to develop, run, and manage the application without dealing with the complexities of building and also maintaining the underlying infrastructure.

Here is why elastic beanstalk is with the PaaS model and how it can provide benefits to your application deployment:-

Abstraction of infrastructure management

The elastic beanstalk abstracts away the infrastructure layers which would help you in managing the EC2 instances, load balancer, and also the scaling policies on our behalf. This would allow us to focus on writing the code and deployment application.

Automation of the scaling and load balancing

It can provide a built-in feature to automate scaling and load balancing which would help you in ensuring that our application should handle varying traffic loads even without manual intervention.

Managed environment

The elastic Beanstalk would help you manage the environment, including OS updates, security patches, and other maintenance tasks, freeing us from these operational concerns.

Support for multiple programming languages

It would help you in managing the various languages and also the framework, such as Java, NET, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker which would make it different application needs.

Integrated with the AWS service

It would help you integrate seamlessly with other AWS services such as RDS, S3, and IAM which would provide a robust ecosystem for application deployment and development.

To deploy an application by using Beanstalk, you can follow the following steps:-

Install the elastic beanstalk

Pip install awsebcli

Initialize your application

  Eb init -p python-3.7 my-app

Creating environment and deployment

Eb create my-env

Deploy changes

Eb deploy
