I am rather new to LocalStack and I am finding it to be extremely useful. The LocalStack GitHub page does not list Elastic Beanstalk as a supported service. Is there any information on whether this will be rolled out anytime soon?
Elasticbeanstalk automatically creates the infrastructure necessary to deploy and run your application in the cloud. For example. it creates EC2 instances, load balancer etc for you.
if you look at localstack, it supports the standalone services such IAM, S3, Dynamodb etc. Therefore I don't think the localstack will ever support elasticbeanstalk as a service.
If you want to simulate running the elasticbeanstalk application locally, you can try running the following the eb cli command. It will run the application in docker.
eb local run

I have a ASP.NET Core Web API planning to deploy in AWS, I don't have enough background in AWS what is the good package to subscribe in AWS?
My option is Amazon EC2 or Cloud Computing or there is other package for Web API? And my other concern is I also have files to upload by the client need at least of 1 or 2 TB of cloud storage. Can I connect the Cloud Storage services of Amazon to Amazon EC2. I really don't how to start.
You could look at Elastic Beanstalk (EB) as explained in Creating and deploying .NET applications on Elastic Beanstalk. EB is AWS Platform as a Service (Paas) offering which allows you to deploy your code, without managing much or any of EC2 instances, load balancers, security groups and more.
Alternatively, if you can run your app in a docker container, maybe it would be easier to deploy it using ECS Fargate. EB can also be used to deploy dockerized applications.
For storage you can use EFS if you require filesystem-like storage that can be shared across multiple instances, containers or lambda functions.
I am using AWS ECS to automatically deploy my server in a docker container to my EC2 instance, the only problem is I have to use an elastic load balancer (ELB). This is a for a school project but it also uses a Telegram bot so I needed a HTTPS endpoint to receive updates from Telegram. An ELB is completely overkill for this and is also costing me more than I would like considering everything else is under the free tier that I am using. Does anyone know how to set up automatic deployment of a docker container to EC2 without an ELB/ECS OR does anyone know if it is possible to SSH to an EC2 instance during a build since that could possibly be a solution of how to run a deployment script on the instance automatically from the build. Thanks!
You dont need ECS.to run Docker. I have run Docker containers from an EC2 userdata script, so that is does a docker run command at launch. Works great.
I am trying to deploy my Spring Boot microservices on using Elastic Beanstalk from AWS. It provides preconfigured environment for deployment. I have one Ubuntu machine with EBS with 80 GB(free tier option). I have some doubts. I am adding as points
When I am deploying using Elastic Beanstalk, where it actually deploying? In my EBS storage ? Or any other space which belongs to AWS ?
Is it possible to deploy anything without creating an EC2 instance? If possible, then where will it actually physical space occupy?
When I deploy my microservices, I choose Tomcat option. So under the box there is a sentence that Java Tomcat server environment is in Amazon Linux or something like that. I have Ubuntu machine; if Beanstalk using my EC2 instance, then why it showing message related to Amazon Linux 2017? Since my machine is Ubuntu?
And I found docs saying BeanStalk is not charging payments. Payment is going according to the AWS resources that we choose. So how I can relate this point with my 3rd point?
I'll start with #4 Elastic Beanstalk is a service you are NOT charged for, just the resources you consume, so EC2, EBS, ELB's.
When you deploy an Elastic Beanstalk application you select what version of Tomcat you want and with it the version of Linux
64bit Amazon Linux 2017.09 v2.7.2 running Tomcat 8 Java 8
64bit Amazon Linux 2017.09 v2.7.2 running Tomcat 7 Java 7
64bit Amazon Linux 2017.09 v2.7.2 running Tomcat 7 Java 6

#1 - It is deploying to an environment on EC2, which is why there is an AMI in the platform you provision.
When you launch an environment, you choose a platform configuration.
We update platform configurations periodically to provide performance
improvements and new features. You can update your environment to the
latest platform configuration at any time.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features.managing.ec2.html
#2 You can deploy your application on Docker, but that still needs EC2 hosts to run, you can manage them or you can use Multi Container platform, which provisions them to ECS .
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest
/dg/create_deploy_docker.html
#3 Elastic Beanstalk likes to keep resource under it's control, When you provision an Environment, it will provision the resources needed, no need to provision a machine outside of Elastic beanstalk.
You can create a custom platform if you want too based on Ubuntu.
Note
Modify the resources in your environment only by using Elastic Beanstalk. If you modify resources using another service's console,
CLI commands, or SDKs, Elastic Beanstalk won't be able to accurately
monitor the state of those resources, and you won't be able to save
the configuration or reliably recreate the environment. Out-of
band-changes can also cause issues when terminating an environment.
Some other points about Elastic Beanstalk from a great answer on Stack Overlfow
I am trying to develop a Spring Cloud microservice and need to deploy in AWS cloud. I am new to Spring Cloud and AWS. I would like to open a EC2 instance and like to deploy using Elastic Beanstalk environment wizard.
When I am exploring how to create EC instance and configuration, I found that the documentation explaining EC2 and EC2 container service. Here I need to deploy my service in Java environment and Tomcat as service structure. So I am confused about EC2 and EC2 container service. Which one is suitable for my criteria and requirement? EC2 or Ec2 container service for deploying my service?
EC2 container service is to be used if you want to run container systems like Docker. Are you comfortable using Docker containers?
If you want to use standard virtual machine; use EC2 instance. Your requirement of deploying microservice can be achieved using any of EC2 instance or EC2 container service. What is important is your comfort level.
Does AWS Elastic BeanStalk support deploy non-web Java application to EC2?
That is to say, I want to pass a jar to EC2 instance, and make it auto run when EC2 instance started.
As of today, you have to run Java based web applications or worker tier applications, both have to be modeled as web apps.
You could run a tomcat app that does some backend processing work but does not perform the usual functions of a web app.
