AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Environment

The AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Environment resource is an AWS Elastic Beanstalk resource type that specifies an Elastic Beanstalk environment.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Type" : "AWS::ElasticBeanstalk::Environment",
  "Properties" : {
      "ApplicationName" : String,
      "CNAMEPrefix" : String,
      "Description" : String,
      "EnvironmentName" : String,
      "OperationsRole" : String,
      "OptionSettings" : [ OptionSetting, ... ],
      "PlatformArn" : String,
      "SolutionStackName" : String,
      "Tags" : [ Tag, ... ],
      "TemplateName" : String,
      "Tier" : Tier,
      "VersionLabel" : String
    }
}

  CNAMEPrefix: String
  Description: String
  EnvironmentName: String
  OperationsRole: String
  OptionSettings:

Properties

ApplicationName

The name of the application that is associated with this environment.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

Update requires: Replacement

CNAMEPrefix

If specified, the environment attempts to use this value as the prefix for the CNAME in your Elastic Beanstalk environment URL. If not specified, the CNAME is generated automatically by appending a random alphanumeric string to the environment name.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 4

Maximum: 63

Update requires: Replacement

Description

Your description for this environment.

Required: No

Type: String

Maximum: 200

Update requires: No interruption

EnvironmentName

A unique name for the environment.

Constraint: Must be from 4 to 40 characters in length. The name can contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens. It can't start or end with a hyphen. This name must be unique within a region in your account.

If you don't specify the CNAMEPrefix parameter, the environment name becomes part of the CNAME, and therefore part of the visible URL for your application.

If you don't specify an environment name, AWS CloudFormation generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the environment name. For more information, see Name Type.

Important

If you specify a name, you cannot perform updates that require replacement of this resource. You can perform updates that require no or some interruption. If you must replace the resource, specify a new name.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 4

Maximum: 40

Update requires: Replacement

OperationsRole
Important

The operations role feature of AWS Elastic Beanstalk is in beta release and is subject to change.

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an existing IAM role to be used as the environment's operations role. If specified, Elastic Beanstalk uses the operations role for permissions to downstream services during this call and during subsequent calls acting on this environment. To specify an operations role, you must have the iam:PassRole permission for the role.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 256

Update requires: No interruption

OptionSettings

Key-value pairs defining configuration options for this environment, such as the instance type. These options override the values that are defined in the solution stack or the configuration template. If you remove any options during a stack update, the removed options retain their current values.

Required: No

Type: Array of OptionSetting

Update requires: No interruption

PlatformArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the custom platform to use with the environment. For more information, see Custom Platforms in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.

Note

If you specify PlatformArn, don't specify SolutionStackName.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: No interruption

SolutionStackName

The name of an Elastic Beanstalk solution stack (platform version) to use with the environment. If specified, Elastic Beanstalk sets the configuration values to the default values associated with the specified solution stack. For a list of current solution stacks, see Elastic Beanstalk Supported Platforms in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platforms guide.

Note

If you specify SolutionStackName, don't specify PlatformArn or TemplateName.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

Tags

Specifies the tags applied to resources in the environment.

Required: No

Type: Array of Tag

Update requires: No interruption

TemplateName

The name of the Elastic Beanstalk configuration template to use with the environment.

Note

If you specify TemplateName, then don't specify SolutionStackName.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

Update requires: No interruption

Tier

Specifies the tier to use in creating this environment. The environment tier that you choose determines whether Elastic Beanstalk provisions resources to support a web application that handles HTTP(S) requests or a web application that handles background-processing tasks.

Required: No

Type: Tier

Update requires: No interruption

VersionLabel

The name of the application version to deploy.

Default: If not specified, Elastic Beanstalk attempts to deploy the sample application.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

Update requires: No interruption

Return values

Ref

When the logical ID of this resource is provided to the Ref intrinsic function, Ref returns the resource name.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

The Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt.

EndpointURL

For load-balanced, autoscaling environments, the URL to the load balancer. For single-instance environments, the IP address of the instance.

Example load balancer URL:

awseb-myst-myen-132MQC4KRLAMD-1371280482.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com

Example instance IP address:

192.0.2.0
