What is AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a service used to deploy and scale web applications developed by developers.

  • It supports multiple programming languages and runtime environments such as Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a fully managed service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that simplifies the deployment and management of applications. It provides a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environment that allows developers to easily deploy and run applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure.

Key features of AWS Elastic Beanstalk include:

  1. Easy Deployment: Developers can simply upload their application code, and Elastic Beanstalk takes care of the deployment details, such as capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring.

  2. Multi-Language Support: Elastic Beanstalk supports multiple programming languages, including Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, and Go. This makes it versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.

  3. Managed Environment: AWS Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the underlying infrastructure components, such as compute instances, load balancing, and scaling, allowing developers to focus more on their code and less on infrastructure management.

  4. Auto-Scaling: Elastic Beanstalk can automatically scale the application based on demand. It adjusts the number of running instances to handle varying levels of traffic, ensuring optimal performance without manual intervention.

  5. Monitoring and Logging: The service provides built-in monitoring tools and integrates with AWS CloudWatch for tracking performance metrics and logging. This helps developers gain insights into the health and performance of their applications.

  6. Environment Customization: While Elastic Beanstalk automates many aspects of application deployment, developers can still customize the underlying resources, such as choosing the instance types, configuring environment variables, and more.

  7. Integration with AWS Services: Elastic Beanstalk integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, allowing developers to leverage additional capabilities like databases, storage, caching, and more.

Overall, AWS Elastic Beanstalk aims to simplify the process of deploying and managing applications, making it easier for developers to focus on writing code and delivering features rather than managing infrastructure.

Why do we need AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

  • Previously, developers faced challenges in sharing software modules across geographically separated teams.

  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk solves this problem by providing a service to easily share applications across different devices.

Advantages of AWS Elastic Beanstalk

  • Highly scalable

  • Fast and simple to begin

  • Quick deployment

  • Supports multi-tenant architecture

  • Simplifies operations

  • Cost efficient

Components of AWS Elastic Beanstalk

  • Application Version: Represents a specific iteration or release of an application's codebase.

  • Environment Tier: Defines the infrastructure resources allocated for an environment (e.g., web server environment, worker environment).

  • Environment: Represents a collection of AWS resources running an application version.

  • Configuration Template: Defines the settings for an environment, including instance types, scaling options, and more.

Run the game using Docker

Task-01

https://github.com/ChitrolyaPradeep/90DaysOfDevOps/blob/master/2023/day47/README.md

git clone commant used in just nirmal reacho out me.

Run the game using Docker

Steps:)

Step 1: Clone the game into your local machine.

Step 2: Navigate to the Game Directory

Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you cloned the game.

I already created the Dockerfile.....

Step 3: Build the Image

docker build -t 2024-devops engineer .

5 Step 5: Run a Container from the Image

You can run a container from the image you just built using the docker run command.

COPY

 docker run -d -p 80:80 2048-game

6 Step 6: Verify the container

 docker ps

Note: By default, port 80 is open in most environments. This means you usually don't need to add it to your inbound rule.

7 Step 7: Get the Public IP of your ec2

  • Select the running instance.

  • go to the networking session

  • at that session, you get your public IP

Step 8: Access the Game

Paste the public IP of your ec2 instance on your favorite web-browser.

Here we can see that sucessful deploy game 2048 using the docker
