How to use AWS CLI with Elastic Beanstalk?

Question

In the documentation it states that the EB CLI is replaced by AWS CLI but all of the documentation is still talking about EB CLI.

I have created an application in Elastic Beanstalk console and now I'm ready to start developing. I have all the tools installed on Ubuntu and I've already tested it locally. Now I want to deploy it to Elastic Beanstalk. How do I do this with AWS CLI?

Have you gone through this? http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/elasticbeanstalk/index.html — Shibashis, Jun 05 '16 at 17:52
After you install aws cli, you will have to execute commands using `aws cli elasticbeanstalk check-dns-availability ` — Shibashis, Jun 05 '16 at 17:54
Also check this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-aws-cli.html — Piyush Patil, Jun 05 '16 at 17:54
Where in the documentation did you read about AWS CLI replacing EB CLI? I couldn't find that anywhere. — ERIK_SON, Jul 15 '16 at 08:48

You have to create a source bundle from your application, see details here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/applications-sourcebundle.html (Or alternatively you can use AWS CodeCommit or AWS CodeBuild as source for your application.)

Then you can use the AWS CLI to create a new version from your application and deploy it to one application environment. (See the CLI documentation for EBS here.)

Create a source bundle:

zip MyCodeBundle.zip <source files>

Upload that to S3:

aws s3 cp MyCodeBundle.zip s3://a-bucket-where-you-store-your-source-bundles/

Create a new application version using the source bundle you just uploaded:

aws elasticbeanstalk create-application-version --application-name YourEBSAppName --version-label YourVersionLabel --source-bundle S3Bucket="a-bucket-where-you-store-your-source-bundles",S3Key="MyCodeBundle.zip"

And finally you update one of your environments to use that version (this is deploy even though that verb is completely missing from the new AWS CLI for EBS - this was a little confusing for me):

aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment --application-name YourEBSAppName --environment-name YourEBSEnvironmentName --version-label YourVersionLabel

Thanks! I was looking for a way to deploy to EB without the weird git integration stuff Amazon provides. This is a bit longer than I hoped, but it works. – Laurence Gonsalves Apr 13 '18 at 20:14
If you are trying to run this through Github actions, you need to add region flag. "--region us-east-1" – alext Jun 11 '20 at 08:15
Can you pls help me with this - How would I know if the environment deployment is completed? since even after aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment is success- deployment is still being processed in aws – krishna422 Oct 19 '21 at 11:54
I got this error with **create-application-version** command `An error occurred (InvalidParameterValue) when calling the CreateApplicationVersion operation: No Application named 'hello-world' found. ` – JRichardsz Feb 14 '22 at 22:40
Also, currently **create-application-version** don't create the environment – JRichardsz Feb 14 '22 at 22:52

To complement @qqbenq answer, here is an example of AWS CLI deployment to beanstalk with a given deployment policy:

aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment \
    --environment-name <eb-env-name> \
    --version-label <verion-label-to-deploy> \
    --option-settings \
        Namespace=aws:elasticbeanstalk:command,OptionName=DeploymentPolicy,Value=Rolling \
        Namespace=aws:elasticbeanstalk:command,OptionName=BatchSizeType,Value=Fixed \
        Namespace=aws:elasticbeanstalk:command,OptionName=BatchSize,Value=1

This really saved my day, all I was looking for was to update one `custom value` inside configuration. This was my final command: `aws elasticbeanstalk update-environment --environment-name myenvname --option-settings Namespace=aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment,OptionName=CONFIGURATION_NUMBER,Value=1.2.003` – mdabdullah Dec 02 '20 at 07:03
@mdabdullah Glad the answer was useful:-) – Marcin Dec 02 '20 at 07:20
