eb clone

Description

Clones an environment to a new environment so that both have identical environment settings.

Note

By default, regardless of the solution stack version of the environment from which you create the clone, the eb clone command creates the clone environment with the most recent solution stack. You can suppress this by including the --exact option when you run the command.

Important

Cloned Elastic Beanstalk environments do not carry over the security groups for ingress, leaving the environment open to all internet traffic. You’ll need to reestablish ingress security groups for the cloned environment.

You can see resources that may not be cloned by checking the drift status of your environment configuration. For more information, see Detect drift on an entire CloudFormation stack in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
