Elastic Beanstalk instance profile
An instance profile is an IAM role that is applied to instances launched in your Elastic Beanstalk environment. When creating an Elastic Beanstalk environment, you specify the instance profile that is used when your instances:
-
Retrieve application versions from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
-
Write logs to Amazon S3
-
In AWS X-Ray integrated environments, upload debugging data to X-Ray
-
In multicontainer Docker environments, coordinate container deployments with Amazon Elastic Container Service
-
In worker environments, read from an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue
-
In worker environments, perform leader election with Amazon DynamoDB
-
In worker environments, publish instance health metrics to Amazon CloudWatch
The AWSElasticBeanstalkWebTier
managed policy contains statements that allow instances in your environment to upload
logs to Amazon S3
and send debugging information to X-Ray:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "BucketAccess",
"Action": [
"s3:Get*",
"s3:List*",
"s3:PutObject"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::elasticbeanstalk-*",
"arn:aws:s3:::elasticbeanstalk-*/*"
]
},
{
"Sid": "XRayAccess",
"Action":[
"xray:PutTraceSegments",
"xray:PutTelemetryRecords",
"xray:GetSamplingRules",
"xray:GetSamplingTargets",
"xray:GetSamplingStatisticSummaries"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Sid": "CloudWatchLogsAccess",
"Action": [
"logs:PutLogEvents",
"logs:CreateLogStream",
"logs:DescribeLogStreams",
"logs:DescribeLogGroups"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:logs:*:*:log-group:/aws/elasticbeanstalk*"
]
},
{
"Sid": "ElasticBeanstalkHealthAccess",
"Action": [
"elasticbeanstalk:PutInstanceStatistics"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:*:*:application/*",
"arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:*:*:environment/*"
]
}
]
}
Elastic Beanstalk also provides managed policies named AWSElasticBeanstalkWorkerTier
and
AWSElasticBeanstalkMulticontainerDocker
for the other use cases. Elastic Beanstalk attaches all of these policies to the
default instance
profile, aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role
, when you create an environment with the console or EB CLI.
If your web application requires access to any other AWS services, add statements or managed policies to the instance profile that allow access to those services.
