Customizing Environment Resources

When defining the values for the properties for your resource, there are three different methods you can use to define the values for the properties for a resource:

There are two different functions you can use to retrieve the values for the properties:

Resources: 
  <name of resource>:
    Type: <resource type identifier> 
    Properties: 
      # Example syntax of a property that takes in the actual value
      <property name>: <literal string> 
      
      # Example syntax of a property that takes a list of strings
      <property name>: ["<literal string>", "<literal string>"]
      
      # Example syntax of a property that takes the option name and the value
       <property name>: 
         - Name: <option name>
           Value: <literal string> 
      
      # Example syntax showing how to use Fn::GetAtt to return the value of an attribute from a resource in the configuration file
      <property name>: 
         - Name: <option name>
           Value : { "Fn::GetAtt" : [ "<logicalNameOfResource>", "<attributeName>"] }	

      # Example syntax showing how to use Ref to return the value of a specified parameter or resource. You can use Ref for single property values and lists.
      <property name>: 
          Ref: <parameter reference>

AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides fixed resource names for the AWS resources that it creates for you when you deploy your application. You will need to know these resource names when you reference them in your configuration file.
