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 AWS and having a web server environment on elastic beanstalk with EC2 (t1.micro) with RDS (db.t1.micro). Now the db.t1.micro instance is deprecated, no more new instance can be created and no support in near future.
I would be helpful if anybody refers me steps to do create the t2 clone of the machine and switch over (Or) how to handle the depreciation of the instance.
Change Instance Type: You can change the Instance type by following the AWS documentation here
Next, Creating RDS instance in the Elastic Beanstalk environment is not ideal for production environments, because the lifecycle of the database instance is tied to the lifecycle of your application's environment. Hence it is always recommended to create RDS instance outside of the Elastic Beanstalk environment and configure your Elastic Beanstalk application to connect it on launch, which will provide the benefits of performing blue/green deployments, and tear down your Beanstalk environment without affecting the database instance. Refer to the documentation here to know more information.
For now, if you would like to modify the RDS instance type, you can do so by going to the RDS section in Configuration tab.
I have created a new Elastic Beanstalk environment with the source of the "db.t1.micro" snapshot, within the VPC. This helped me to launch the clone. Once this is done I have to swap the cname with the t1 and t2 setup. The new instance is up and running with t2 configuration.
I have aspnet webdeploy package(.zip) now i want it to deploy in AWS with cloudformation.
my cloudformation should contain
vpc with two subnet (private and public)
Private subnet will contain Instance and RDS(sqlserver web or any)
Public Subnet will have NAT, Bastian host (for login into actual instance) and internet gateway.
Cloudformation should pick appication(zip) from s3 URL.
and at the end as output i can get URL (working website).
anyhelp would be really appreciated (if someone has cloudformation which do the same please post it here or send me on kotnala.ajayk#gmail.com)
Thanks,
Ajay
Unless you have requirements to use CloudFormation directly, I would recommend using AWS Elastic Beanstalk and the AWS Console to setup your VPC and deploy your application. Using the AWS Console to create a VPC with public and private subnets is much easier than creating them via CloudFormation, and Elastic Beanstalk supports ASP.NET application deployment automatically. EB uses a CloudFormation template to manage its own resources and can be customized later if needed.
Read through the Launching an Elastic Beanstalk Application in a VPC with Bastion Hosts, Launching an Elastic Beanstalk in a VPC with Amazon RDS and How to Deploy a .NET Sample Application Using AWS Elastic Beanstalk examples, which should get you started. Your requirements are all covered by some combination of the steps listed in those three examples.
Once you've become familiar with how to use Elastic Beanstalk to configure and deploy your application package, you can also look into managing your Elastic Beanstalk environment from a CloudFormation template, to automate the full process. See Elastic Beanstalk Template Snippets for getting started with this step.
Maybe it is a simple question, but I want to be sure anyway.
We already have a simple architecture with one Amazon EC2 instance and are planning to scale to architecture with load balancing, multiple autoscaling EC2 instances, and separate RDS.
If I create such a configuration with Elastic Beanstalk, will the existing EC2 instance at the same account stay untouched and working?
Elastic Beanstalk will only modify the instances, autoscaling groups it creates as part of environment creation. If you already have instances running in your account they should not be affected by simply using Elastic Beanstalk to launch new instances.
Make sure you do not share those resources with your new environment. e.g. If you have an existing RDS and you access that RDS from your application on the newly launched instances by beanstalk, then it goes without saying that the state of the RDS can be modified by your application. Likewise if you use preexisting security groups then you are sharing state between your existing resources and your beanstalk environment and should be avoided.
But just launching a new beanstalk environment, deploying your application there will keep the existing instances in your account untouched.
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'm new to AWS, and I want to deploy a web application on an EC2 instance,
So far I've tried Elastic Beanstalk, but AWS always requires me to create a new Environment for the application instead of letting me choose an existing EC2 instance that I've created before.
Actually my main purpose is to set a policy group that allow HTTPS access, and idk how to set it to the "Environment" instance.
Any help is greatly welcome. :)
That is not currently viable, as you'd need to set up an AMI based on your instance and use a custom AMI for beanstalk, and that is not a trivial task. If you need to run a custom environment in Elastic Beanstalk, using Docker would be much easier.
But none of that is required to set a security group allowing HTTPS, you can configure security groups and HTTP/s listeners for ELBs on you Environment configuration.
