I am new to AWS ElasticBeanstalk. As i have started working on AWS ElasticBeanstalk i have some confusion which are as follows.
1.Does Amazon charge for every EC2 instance which is created to run ElasticBeanstalk app under free tier.
2.Is it possible to host multiple app under samne EC2 instance which is created for Elasticbeanstalk i.e ASp.net ,Web Api and angular 4 app under same elasticbeanstalk.
Please help me to clear my issues.
Thanks
If the EC2 instances used for Elastic Beanstalk fall under the free tier (i.e. within the first 12 months of account ownership, they're small enough instances, use less than 750 hours/month, etc.), then they'll be free. It doesn't matter if the instances are used for an Elastic Beanstalk application or something else.
Yes, it is possible to host multiple Elastic Beanstalk applications on the same EC2 instance. See this related StackOverflow question.

I am creating the first betas of a project. I need a SpringBoot server connecting to MongoDBs in AWS.
MongoDB is already deployed as a replicaset in different EC2 instances. I was exploring AWS Beanstalk as environment to deploy the SpringBoot. However I am not yet ready to deploy a Load Balancer, because is costly.
I am looking for the way to deploy a Single-Instance Environment (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features-managing-env-types.html?ref_=pe_395030_31184250_9#single-instance-environ) in a VPC (which would be shared with MongoDB).
Does AWS Beanstalk allows you to configure a EC2 instance within an VPC but without Load Balancer?
If not, I am planning to deploy an EC2 instance in the VPC myself without Beanstalk.
Other temporary solution would be accessing MongoDB over the internet, with the right security group rules, but i do not think is a good practice at all, so I am not considering it.
All Elastic Beanstalk environments are in a VPC, unless you have a really old AWS account that still supports EC2 classic. What you are looking for is the EB Single-Instance Environment type.
I'm new to Docker and EB but not AWS. I've worked in environments where dedicated tenancy is a requirement, whether due to HIPPA or some other data protection requirements.
So far as I can tell, in order to deploy a Docker image, you must use Beanstalk, which means you aren't able to have a dedicated tenancy. I found this forum question that says if you create a VPC, you can have a dedicated Beanstalk. Is this correct? If so, will it work with Docker? If so any guides would be helpful.
Have you looked at Amazon's ECS service? It is a Docker container service that doesn't use Elastic Beanstalk.
You can also install Docker on any EC2 instance.
If you use a VPC then you can set the default tenancy to dedicated, which will result in dedicated tenancy instances being created by Beanstalk. You should be using a VPC already if you are concerned with HIPAA compliance, or if you want access to pretty much any of the new features released by Amazon in the last year.
Also, EBS stands for Elastic Block Storage, Elastic Beanstalk is usually abbreviated EB.
If you'd like to venture a bit more, you can also use other tools like
Kubernetes
Apache Mesos
RancherOS

You can run them all in EC2 with VPC, also using dedicated tenancy if you'd like to.
I am new to AWS and the question may seem very basic. However I need to see if I can find a solution to this.
I have created and launched an EC2 instance first and then created an Elastic Beanstalk instance with a sample application deployed on it. By default, the Elastic Beanstalk attaches "Default Environment" to this instance and I find no way to change this to my EC2 instance. How can I attach my EC2 instance (that I created earlier) to this Elastic Beanstalk instance? I am using Amazon Free Tier to learn.
Thanks a lot for your time and patience.
You cannot add an existing instance into an Elastic Beanstalk configuration.
Under the hood Elastic beanstalk uses Containers and a ton of configuration hooks, files, etc.
An instance is not the same and cannot even be guaranteed to be of matching types (perhaps the instance is CentOS and the Container runs on an ubuntu host).
It's simply not possible.
I have started using elastic beanstalk with tomcat8-java8 application. Elastic beanstalk setup a nice application with RDS data tier. Is it possible to add another instance, which I created manually, in data tier as a redis caching server.
Thanks for any feedbacks.
There's nothing about Elastic Beanstalk that says it cannot communicate with other servers.
An application running under Elastic Beanstalk can access other resources such as S3 buckets, databases, and other servers, etc. as long as the various permission levels allow (VPC, security groups, etc.)
So you can add a redis server manually that your Elastic Beanstalk application can utilize. You just need to ensure that your application can "get to" the redis server.
I keep killing the default instance and it keeps coming back. Why?
This answer is based on the assumption that you are facing a specific issue I've seen several users stumbling over, but your question is a bit short on detail, so I might misinterpret your problem in fact.
Background
The AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio allows you to deploy applications to AWS Elastic Beanstalk, which is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering allowing you to quickly deploy and manage applications in the AWS cloud:
You simply upload your application, and Elastic Beanstalk
automatically handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning,
load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring.
You deploy an application to Elastic Beanstalk into an Environment comprised of an Elastic Load Balancer and resp. Auto Scaling policies, which together ensure your application will keep running even if the EC2 instance is having trouble servicing the requests for whatever reason (see Architectural Overview for an explanation and illustration how these components work together).
That is, your Amazon EC2 instances are managed by default, so you don't need to administrate the infrastructure yourself, but the specific characteristic of this AWS PaaS variation is that you still can do that:
At the same time, with Elastic Beanstalk, you retain full control over
the AWS resources powering your application and can access the
underlying resources at any time.
Now that's exactly what you unintentionally did by terminating the EC2 instance via a mechanism outside of the Elastic Beanstalk service, which the load balancer detects and, driven by those auto scaling policies, triggers the creation of a replacement instance.
Solution
Long story short, you need to terminate the Elastic Beanstalk environment instead, as illustrated in section Step 6: Clean Up within the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Walkthrough (there is a dedicated section for the Elastic Beanstalk service within the AWS Management Console).
You can also do this via Visual Studio, as explained in step 11 at the bottom of How to Deploy the PetBoard Application Using AWS Elastic Beanstalk:
To delete the deployment, expand the Elastic Beanstalk node in AWS
Explorer, and then right-click the subnode for the deployment. Click
Delete. AWS Elastic Beanstalk will begin the deletion process, which
may take a few minutes. If you specified an notification email address
the deployment, AWS Elastic Beanstalk will send status notifications
for the delete process to this address.
