Next steps after getting started with Elastic Beanstalk

Now that you know how to create an Elastic Beanstalk application and environment, we recommend that you read Elastic Beanstalk concepts. This topic provides information about the Elastic Beanstalk components and architecture, and describes important design considerations for your Elastic Beanstalk application.

In addition to the Elastic Beanstalk console, you can use the following tools to create and manage Elastic Beanstalk environments.

EB CLI

The EB CLI is a command line tool for creating and managing environments. See Using the Elastic Beanstalk command line interface (EB CLI) for details.

AWS SDK for Java

The AWS SDK for Java provides a Java API you can use to build applications that use AWS infrastructure services. With the AWS SDK for Java, you can get started in minutes with a single, downloadable package that includes the AWS Java library, code examples, and documentation.

The AWS SDK for Java requires the J2SE Development Kit. You can download the latest Java software from http://developers.sun.com/downloads/. The SDK also requires Apache Commons (Codec, HTTPClient, and Logging) and Saxon-HE third-party packages, which are included in the third-party directory of the SDK.

For more information, see AWS SDK for Java. For more information about the SDK, example code, documentation, tools, and additional resources, see the Java on AWS Developer Center.

AWS SDK for .NET

The AWS SDK for .NET enables you to build applications that use AWS infrastructure services. With the AWS SDK for .NET, you can get started in minutes with a single, downloadable package that includes the AWS .NET library, code examples, and documentation.

For more information, see AWS SDK for .NET. For supported .NET Framework and Visual Studio versions, see the AWS SDK for .NET Developer Guide.

For more information about the SDK, example code, documentation, tools, and additional resources, see the .NET on AWS Developer Center.

AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio

With the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio plug-in, you can deploy an existing .NET application to Elastic Beanstalk. You can also create projects using the AWS templates that are preconfigured with the AWS SDK for .NET.

For prerequisite and installation information, see the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. To get started creating your Elastic Beanstalk application using Visual Studio, see Deploying .NET Windows applications with Elastic Beanstalk.

AWS SDK for JavaScript in Node.js

The AWS SDK for JavaScript in Node.js enables you to build applications on top of AWS infrastructure services. With the AWS SDK for JavaScript in Node.js, you can get started in minutes with a single, downloadable package that includes the AWS Node.js library, code examples, and documentation.

For more information, see the AWS SDK for JavaScript in Node.js.

AWS SDK for PHP

The AWS SDK for PHP enables you to build applications on top of AWS infrastructure services. With the AWS SDK for PHP, you can get started in minutes with a single, downloadable package that includes the AWS PHP library, code examples, and documentation.

For more information, see the AWS SDK for PHP. For more information about the SDK, example code, documentation, tools, and additional resources, see the PHP on AWS Developer Center.

AWS SDK for Python (Boto)

With the AWS SDK for Python (Boto), you can get started in minutes with a single, downloadable package that includes the AWS Python library, code examples, and documentation. You can build Python applications on top of APIs that take the complexity out of coding directly against web service interfaces.

The all-in-one library provides Python developer-friendly APIs that hide many of the lower-level tasks associated with programming for the AWS Cloud, including authentication, request retries, and error handling. The SDK provides practical examples in Python for how to use the libraries to build applications.

For information about Boto, example code, documentation, tools, and additional resources, see the Python on AWS Developer Center.

AWS SDK for Ruby

You can get started in minutes with a single, downloadable package complete with the AWS Ruby library, code examples, and documentation. You can build Ruby applications on top of APIs that take the complexity out of coding directly against web services interfaces.

The all-in-one library provides Ruby developer-friendly APIs that hide many of the lower-level tasks associated with programming for the AWS Cloud, including authentication, request retries, and error handling. The SDK provides practical examples in Ruby for how to use the libraries to build applications.
