Constructing a Launch Now URL

region – Specify an AWS Region. For a list of Regions that are supported by Elastic Beanstalk, see AWS Elastic Beanstalk Endpoints and Quotas in the AWS General Reference.

applicationName – Specify the name of your application. Elastic Beanstalk displays the application name in the Elastic Beanstalk console to distinguish it from other applications. By default, the application name also forms the basis of the environment name and environment URL.

platform – Specify the platform version to use for the environment. Use one of the following methods, then URL-encode your choice:

For a description of all available platforms and their versions, see Elastic Beanstalk supported platforms.

You can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to get a list of all the available platform versions with their respective ARNs. The list-platform-versions command lists detailed information about all the available platform versions. Use the --filters argument to scope down the list. For example, you can scope the list to only show the platform versions of a specific language.

The following example queries all the Python platform versions, and pipes the output through a series of commands. The result is a list of platform version ARNs (without the /version tail), in a human-readable format, without URL encoding.

$ aws elasticbeanstalk list-platform-versions --filters 'Type="PlatformName",Operator="contains",Values="Python"' | grep PlatformArn | awk -F '"' '{print $4}' | awk -F '/' '{print $2}'

The following example adds a Perl command to the last example to URL-encode the output.

$ aws elasticbeanstalk list-platform-versions --filters 'Type="PlatformName",Operator="contains",Values="Python"' | grep PlatformArn | awk -F '"' '{print $4}' | awk -F '/' '{print $2}' | perl -MURI::Escape -ne 'chomp;print uri_escape($_),"\n"'

sourceBundleUrl – Specify the location of your web application source bundle in URL format. For example, if you uploaded your source bundle to an Amazon S3 bucket, you might specify the value of the sourceBundleUrl parameter as https://amzn-s3-demo-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/myobject.

environmentType – Specify whether the environment is load balanced and scalable or just a single instance. For more information, see Environment types. You can specify either LoadBalancing or SingleInstance as the parameter value.

tierName – Specify whether the environment supports a web application that processes web requests or a web application that runs background jobs. For more information, see Elastic Beanstalk worker environments. You can specify either WebServer or Worker,

instanceType – Specify a server with the characteristics (including memory size and CPU power) that are most appropriate to your application. For more information about Amazon EC2 instance families and types, see Instance types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide. For more information about the available instance types across Regions, see Available instance types in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

withVpc – Specify whether to create the environment in an Amazon VPC. You can specify either true or false. For more information about using Elastic Beanstalk with Amazon VPC, see Using Elastic Beanstalk with Amazon VPC.

withRds – Specify whether to create an Amazon RDS database instance with this environment. For more information, see Using Elastic Beanstalk with Amazon RDS. You can specify either true or false.

rdsDBEngine – Specify the database engine that you want to use for your Amazon EC2 instances in this environment. You can specify mysql, oracle-sel, sqlserver-ex, sqlserver-web, or sqlserver-se. The default value is mysql.

rdsDBAllocatedStorage – Specify the allocated database storage size in gigabytes (GB). You can specify the following values:

rdsDBInstanceClass – Specify the database instance type. The default value is db.t2.micro (db.m1.large is for an environment that's not running in an Amazon VPC). For a list of database instance classes that are supported by Amazon RDS, see DB Instance Class in the Amazon Relational Database Service User Guide.

rdsMultiAZDatabase – Specify whether Elastic Beanstalk needs to create the database instance across multiple Availability Zones. You can specify either true or false. For more information about multiple Availability Zone deployments with Amazon RDS, see Regions and Availability Zones in the Amazon Relational Database Service User Guide.

rdsDBDeletionPolicy – Specify whether to delete or snapshot the database instance on environment termination. You can specify either Delete or Snapshot.
