Benefit from economies of scale;

Growth, Ability to quickly scale in and out;

Stop spending with physical infrastructure, giving yourself more time to focus on your business;

Stop guessing capacity, it’s all about elastic things;

Go global in minutes;

Trade capital expense for variable expense.

First of all, why Cloud Computing?

Real on-demand promise, hour is your billing time unit;

The Free Tier;

Community, support, official trainings with certifications, webinars, forums, high dissemination, big companies are using;

Reliability, lots of 9’s around;

Documented API’s everywhere and CLI;

Integration…

Ok, got Cloud. But why AWS?

Integrated solutions

… integrated;

… organized;

… safe;

… easy to maintain;

All together

Let’s talk about application management and lifecycle

Manually configure AWS products (that’s the easiest part);

Update (and maintain) OS packages;

Download app packages (and configure them);

Configure Web Server (bindings, htdocs, bla bla bla);

Deployment (find an automated solution);

Monitoring;

Backups, scaling, SysAdmin jobs …

Configuring an ordinary Web server …

Energy to code?

What about your customers?

And the competitors?

Time’s running out. Is it ready?

Repeatedly, this causes fatigue.

Very fatigue and boring …

AWS Elastic Beanstalk ::

There’s a better way to do that !

AWS Elastic Beanstalk ::

ElasticBeanstalk

Introducing …

Every DevOps’ dream!;

High Level Application/Environment management service, orchestration tool;

Deploy and manage your applications in AWS Cloud;

“Easy to begin, Impossible to outgrow”;

Install and maintain AWS services for you;

You are always in control, it’s not PaaS by definition.

What Elastic Beanstalk is ?

Overall:

The Beanstalk way

Amazon Elastic Beanstalk - simple workflow diagram

Create Application

Upload Version

Launch Environment

Manage Environment

update app version (same environment)

deploy new version (same environment)

The Beanstalk way

demo.start_session();

What is Beanstalk doing right now ?

New Beanstalk Application

you

“next… next…

launch.”

Route53 (AWS account) myapp.elasticbeanstalk.com

60s TTL

Under the hood

Cloud Formation (where magic

happens)

What if it fails in the middle ?

Back to Demo

demo.reattach_session();

Easy and simple to use and maintain;

Save your time;

Don’t worry about the infrastructure under the hood;

Fits from small/simple to large/complex applications;

Scaled by default;

Eclipse/VisualStudio Toolkit;

Zero downtime deployment (killer feature!).

Where does Beanstalk really shine ?

URL swapping:

Zero downtime deployment

yourRoute 53

mywebsite.com (CNAME)

myapp.elasticbeanstalk.com

myapp.elasticbeanstalk.com myapp2.elasticbeanstalk.com

v1.0 v1.1load saved environment then deploy

60s TTL(where the “zero downtime” magic happens)

Changes should be done in Beanstalk, not in automated parts;

Don’t manually change OS files (unless you know what you’re doing);

Be careful with URL swapping if you use old JVM’s.

If you are not using your application or environment, don’t forget to terminate it;

Keep an eye on it !

No additional charges for using AWS Elastic Beanstalk;

You only pay for the underlying AWS resources that your application consumes (AWS automatically sign you up for these services);

Free Tier…

What much does it cost?

Thank you!questions ?
