4.0 3 years ago

Comments: 1. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is brilliant for offering PaaS in terms of application code management and deployments. 2.

Also it provides great levels of flexibility, ease of usage for deploying & scaling web based application in AWS Platform based on the client specifications.

Pros:

It has a very simple setup procurement and hence even people who are new to use Elastic Beanstalk find it very easy. 3. Also, it gives me the comfort of manage my business application orchestration with other AWS product services such as EC2, S3, SNS, etc.

Cons:

1. Its cost is not definitive and it depends on the number of EC2 Instances and S3 Bucket size. 2. Although it has dedicated CLI for operability, most of the convenient features present in AWS CLI is not available.

Simple tool to distribute application, perhaps too old by now

3.0 3 years ago

Comments: We use AWS Elastic Beanstalk for the deployment of some legacy applications. Upgrading the Environments (a PHP stack) results impossible for us because of many problems, then we decided to migrate to other modern solutions such as EKS.

Pros:

Easy versions management. Easy to deploy applications with a complete stack with Load Balancer and auto-scaling dimensioning

Cons:

Really unstable sometimes. We need to recreate completely the enviroments when it stucks on deploy problems. It starts up a lots of related services, such as Security Groups, Load Balancers and so on which can be really difficult to manage manually if you wanto to make some "clean up"

Pros:

It needed to host a NodeJs client to implement an AWS Amplify app without having access restrictions so Elastic Beanstalk came has a solution.

Maybe it could allow to connect a repository for automatic deployment. This will change a lot the way you have to build your app, nowadays you have to upload a zip.

Più codice meno infrastruttura

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Utilizzato a lavoro per creare semplici applicazioni e per applicare le conoscenze imparate durante lo studio della certificazione AWS che ho acquisito nei mesi scorsi

Pros:

Sicuramente consente di focalizzare l’attenzione sul codice anziché l’infrastruttura poiché essendo un PaaS (platform as a service) AWS si occuperà dell’infrastruttura alla base (per esempio macchine virtuali e network) lasciandoti solo l’onere di pensare al codice e alle configurazioni da applicare nel portale fornito

Cons:

Può risultare ostico all’inizio ma i corsi e i tutorial forniti da AWS sono utili e si impara in fretta
