Deploying AWS Elastic Beanstalk Applications in Ruby Using Eb and Git

AWS Elastic Beanstalk for Ruby makes it easy to deploy, manage, and scale your Ruby web applications using Amazon Web Services. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is available to anyone developing or hosting a web application using Ruby. This section provides step-by-step instructions for deploying a sample application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk using eb (an updated command line interface) and Git, and then updating the application to use the Rails and Sinatra web application frameworks. To complete this walkthrough, you will need to download the command line tools at the AWS Sample Code & Libraries website, and optionally you can set up a Ruby development environment. If you are running eb on a Linux operating system, you will need to install Python 2.7 or 3.0.

After you deploy your AWS Elastic Beanstalk application, you can use the AWS Management Console, CLIs, or the APIs to manage your AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment. For more information, see Managing and Configuring Applications and Environments Using the Console, CLI, and APIs.
