AWS Elastic Beanstalk Supported Platforms
Elastic Beanstalk provides preconfigured platforms that support running web applications developed for specific programming languages, frameworks, and web containers. Elastic Beanstalk offers one or more platform versions for each platform. When you create an environment and choose a platform, Elastic Beanstalk provisions the resources that your application needs, including one or more Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. The software stack running on the Amazon EC2 instances depends on the platform version you chose.
For more information about platforms, see AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platforms in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide. Detailed release notes are available for recent releases at AWS Elastic Beanstalk Release Notes.
The following sections provide information about all currently supported platform versions. All current Linux-based platform versions run on Amazon Linux 2018.03 (64-bit). For lists of historical platform versions and the date ranges they were current, see Platform History.
Elastic Beanstalk has scheduled some platform versions for retirement, because some of their components are reaching their End of Life (EOL). These platform versions remain available until the published retirement date of their retiring components. For a list of component retirement dates, see AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platform Support Policy in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide. For a list of platform versions scheduled for retirement, see AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platform Versions Scheduled for Retirement.

Single Container Docker
Docker is a container platform that allows you to define your own software stack and store it in an image that can be downloaded from a remote repository. Use the Single Container Docker platform if you only need to run a single Docker container on each instance in your environment. The single container platform includes an nginx proxy server.
See Deploying Elastic Beanstalk Applications from Docker Containers in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide for more information about the Docker platform.

Multicontainer Docker
Docker is a container platform that allows you to define your own software stack and store it in an image that can be downloaded from a remote repository. Use the Multicontainer Docker platform if you need to run multiple containers on each instance. The Multicontainer Docker platform does not include a proxy server.
Note
Elastic Beanstalk uses Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to coordinate container deployments to multicontainer Docker environments. Some regions don't offer Amazon ECS. Multicontainer Docker isn't supported in these regions.
For information about the AWS services offered in each region, see Region Table.
See Deploying Elastic Beanstalk Applications from Docker Containers in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide for more information about the Docker platform.

Preconfigured Docker
The Preconfigured Docker platform uses Docker, but doesn't let you provide your own Docker images. The preconfigured containers provide application frameworks that are not available on other platforms, such as Glassfish. They also provide support for Go applications prior to the release of the full-fledged Go platform.

.NET on Windows Server with IIS
You can get started in minutes using the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. The toolkit includes the AWS libraries, project templates, code samples, and documentation. The AWS SDK for .NET supports the development of applications using .NET Framework 2.0 or later.
Note
This platform doesn't support the following Elastic Beanstalk features:
-
Worker environments. For details, see AWS Elastic Beanstalk Worker Environments in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.
-
Bundle logs. For details, see Viewing Logs from Amazon EC2 Instances in Your Elastic Beanstalk Environment in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.
In addition, platform versions earlier than v2.0.0 don't support enhanced health reporting, managed platform updates, immutable updates, immutable deployments, and rolling deployments with an additional batch.
To learn how to get started deploying a .NET application using the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio, see Creating and Deploying Elastic Beanstalk Applications in .NET Using AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.
For information about the latest Microsoft security updates, see Security TechCenter and Security Advisories and Bulletins.

Node.js
The Node.js platform supports a few Node.js versions in each platform version. The
following table lists them. The default Node.js version applies when the
NodeVersion option in the aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:nodejs namespace isn't set. For details, see Node.js Platform Options in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Developer Guide.
Each Node.js version includes a respective version of npm (the Node.js package manager). The table lists npm versions in parentheses.
Note
Node.js versions 4.x to 8.x have an upcoming retirement date. We recommend that you avoid using them in new applications, and migrate existing applications to the latest version.
Elastic Beanstalk supports the following Node.js platform versions.

For information about previous platform versions, see Node.js Platform History.
Note
When support for the version of Node.js that you are using is removed from the platform version, you must change or remove the version setting prior to doing a platform update. This may occur when a security vulnerability is identified for the Node.js version, or when the version is retired.
When this occurs, attempting to upgrade to a new version of the platform that does not support the configured NodeVersion will fail. To avoid needing to create a new environment, change the NodeVersion configuration option to a version that is supported by both the old platform version and the new one, or remove the option setting, and then perform the platform update.
