Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Creating Elastic Beanstalk environments with the API

  1. Call CheckDNSAvailability with the following parameter:

    • CNAMEPrefix = SampleApp

    Example 
    https://elasticbeanstalk.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/?CNAMEPrefix=sampleapplication
&Operation=CheckDNSAvailability
&AuthParams

  2. Call DescribeApplicationVersions with the following parameters:

    • ApplicationName = SampleApp

    • VersionLabel = Version2

    Example 
    https://elasticbeanstalk.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/?ApplicationName=SampleApp
&VersionLabel=Version2
&Operation=DescribeApplicationVersions
&AuthParams

  3. Call CreateConfigurationTemplate with the following parameters:

    • ApplicationName = SampleApp

    • TemplateName = MyConfigTemplate

    • SolutionStackName = 64bit%20Amazon%20Linux%202015.03%20v2.0.0%20running%20Ruby%202.2%20(Passenger%20Standalone)

    Example 
    https://elasticbeanstalk.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/?ApplicationName=SampleApp
&TemplateName=MyConfigTemplate
&Operation=CreateConfigurationTemplate
&SolutionStackName=64bit%20Amazon%20Linux%202015.03%20v2.0.0%20running%20Ruby%202.2%20(Passenger%20Standalone)
&AuthParams

  4. Call CreateEnvironment with one of the following sets of parameters.

    1. Use the following for a web server environment tier:

      • EnvironmentName = SampleAppEnv2

      • VersionLabel = Version2

      • Description = description

      • TemplateName = MyConfigTemplate

      • ApplicationName = SampleApp

      • CNAMEPrefix = sampleapplication

      • OptionSettings.member.1.Namespace = aws:autoscaling:launchconfiguration

      • OptionSettings.member.1.OptionName = IamInstanceProfile

      • OptionSettings.member.1.Value = aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role

      Example 
      https://elasticbeanstalk.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/?ApplicationName=SampleApp
&VersionLabel=Version2
&EnvironmentName=SampleAppEnv2
&TemplateName=MyConfigTemplate
&CNAMEPrefix=sampleapplication
&Description=description

&OptionSettings.member.1.Namespace=aws%3Aautoscaling%3Alaunchconfiguration
&OptionSettings.member.1.OptionName=IamInstanceProfile
&OptionSettings.member.1.Value=aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role
&AuthParams

    2. Use the following for a worker environment tier:

      • EnvironmentName = SampleAppEnv2

      • VersionLabel = Version2

      • Description = description

      • TemplateName = MyConfigTemplate

      • ApplicationName = SampleApp

      • Tier = Worker

      • OptionSettings.member.1.Namespace = aws:autoscaling:launchconfiguration

      • OptionSettings.member.1.OptionName = IamInstanceProfile

      • OptionSettings.member.1.Value = aws-elasticbeanstalk-ec2-role

      • OptionSettings.member.2.Namespace = aws:elasticbeanstalk:sqsd

      • OptionSettings.member.2.OptionName = WorkerQueueURL

      • OptionSettings.member.2.Value = sqsd.elasticbeanstalk.us-west-2.amazonaws.com

      • OptionSettings.member.3.Value = /

      • OptionSettings.member.4.Namespace = aws:elasticbeanstalk:sqsd

      • OptionSettings.member.4.OptionName = MimeType

      • OptionSettings.member.4.Value = application/json

      • OptionSettings.member.5.Namespace = aws:elasticbeanstalk:sqsd

      • OptionSettings.member.5.OptionName = HttpConnections

      • OptionSettings.member.5.Value = 75

      • OptionSettings.member.6.Namespace = aws:elasticbeanstalk:sqsd

      • OptionSettings.member.6.OptionName = ConnectTimeout

      • OptionSettings.member.6.Value = 10

      • OptionSettings.member.7.Namespace = aws:elasticbeanstalk:sqsd

      • OptionSettings.member.7.OptionName = InactivityTimeout

      • OptionSettings.member.7.Value = 10

      • OptionSettings.member.8.Namespace = aws:elasticbeanstalk:sqsd

      • OptionSettings.member.8.OptionName = VisibilityTimeout

      • OptionSettings.member.8.Value = 60

      • OptionSettings.member.9.Namespace = aws:elasticbeanstalk:sqsd

      • OptionSettings.member.9.OptionName = RetentionPeriod

      • OptionSettings.member.9.Value = 345600
