I've been pouring over the AWS documentation for Elastic Beanstalk and .ebextensions. Unfortunately, it's left me seeing stars.
I'm trying to accomplish a few things:
I have a Java application that will deployed into multiple instances, each instance with a different environment variable passed in to the application. Is there a way to accomplish this via Beanstalk (i.e. have a single application deployed multiple times with a different variable for each)? Or do we need to move over to something like Opsworks?
Each instance may need to have its own autoscale group.
Each instance needs to have a different instance type.
Each instance should be deployed to an already existing security group. Everything I have found shows deployment to a new security group, I can't find how to launch the instance into an existing security group from within a .config file.
So, my first question is, can anyone provide some example code in .config file format that I can use to implement the above? I'm not asking for anything complete, but something that can guide me.
Finally, I have spent hours going through the documentation and despite multiple references to listings of available config options, I can't seem to find it. I found the "general" options, but I don't see where it tells you which section of the config file to put it into, syntax, etc.
Can anyone enlighten me? Is there a master listing with API-like documentation of what the available config options are?
