In my previous post, I looked at using the EB cli to deploy a Spring Boot app to Beanstalk. If you have an app that you have packaged in a Docker container, you can prepare this for deployment to Beanstalk using the EB cli command:
$ eb init -p docker application-name
This is described in the docs here.
This command inits the app for deployment, creating a default .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml file that looks like this:
branch-defaults:
default:
environment: null
group_suffix: null
global:
application_name: beanstalk-docker-with-mounted-volume
branch: null
default_ec2_keyname: null
default_platform: Docker
default_region: us-west-2
include_git_submodules: true
instance_profile: null
platform_name: null
platform_version: null
profile: null
repository: null
sc: null
workspace_type: Application
Next create a Beanstalk environment for deploying your app:
$ eb create environment-name
This will take a few minutes on your first deploy as it provisions everything required for running your app on Beanstalk, including an Auto Scaling Group and an EC2 instance.
