Customizing and Configuring a Ruby Environment

To customize and configure your Ruby environment

1. Create a configuration file with the extension .config (e.g., myapp.config) and place it in an .ebextensions top-level directory of your source bundle. You can have multiple configuration files in your .ebextensions directory. For information about file format and contents of the configuration file, see Using Configuration Files.

   The following is an example snippet of a configuration file.

   # Configure third-party service credentials
   # in environment variables:
   option_settings:
     - option_name: AIRBRAKE_API_KEY
       value: MYAPIKEY
   
   # Run rake tasks before an application deployment
   container_commands:
     01deploy:
       command: rake my_deployment_tasks

   Note

   If you want to set environment variables that will be available to your application, you do not need to provide a "namespace" key in the option_settings section.

   You can also pass in your access credentials. For example, you could specify the following:

   # If you do not specify a namespace, the default used is aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment
   option_settings:
     - option_name: PARAM1
       value: somevalue

2. Deploy your application version.
