Learning Objectives
Elastic Beanstalk is a service provided by Amazon that allows us to deploy applications without getting into the hassle of creating and managing different resources. When we create an environment in Elastic Beanstalk, the required resources are automatically provisioned.
In this Cloud Lab, you’ll first create a simple Flask application that uses a DynamoDB table to store data and sends notifications using an SNS topic. You will then deploy this application on Elastic Beanstalk.
After completing this Cloud Lab, you will be able to deploy applications using Elastic Beanstalk. You will also be able to use DynamoDB tables and SNS topics in your applications.
A high-level architecture diagram for this lab is given below:

Elastic Beanstalk is a service for deploying and scaling web applications and services. It automates tasks, such as capacity provisioning, load balancing, autoscaling, and application health monitoring. It is ideal for rapid application deployment without deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure.
EC2 is a compute service that provides virtual servers to run your applications. Elastic Beanstalk is an orchestration service that automates deploying and managing applications by handling infrastructure tasks like creating and managing EC2 instances.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk primarily supports web applications, including Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker. Due to its flexible architecture, you can also deploy non-web applications, such as background workers or cron jobs, by using custom configurations and environment settings.
