Options

--application-name (string)

The name of the application that is associated with this environment.

--environment-name (string)

A unique name for the environment.

Constraint: Must be from 4 to 40 characters in length. The name can contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens. It can’t start or end with a hyphen. This name must be unique within a region in your account. If the specified name already exists in the region, Elastic Beanstalk returns an InvalidParameterValue error.

If you don’t specify the CNAMEPrefix parameter, the environment name becomes part of the CNAME, and therefore part of the visible URL for your application.

--group-name (string)

The name of the group to which the target environment belongs. Specify a group name only if the environment’s name is specified in an environment manifest and not with the environment name parameter. See Environment Manifest (env.yaml) for details.

--description (string)

Your description for this environment.

--cname-prefix (string)

If specified, the environment attempts to use this value as the prefix for the CNAME in your Elastic Beanstalk environment URL. If not specified, the CNAME is generated automatically by appending a random alphanumeric string to the environment name.

--tier (structure)

Specifies the tier to use in creating this environment. The environment tier that you choose determines whether Elastic Beanstalk provisions resources to support a web application that handles HTTP(S) requests or a web application that handles background-processing tasks.

Name -> (string)

The name of this environment tier.

Valid values:

• For Web server tier – WebServer

• For Worker tier – Worker

Type -> (string)

The type of this environment tier.

Valid values:

• For Web server tier – Standard

• For Worker tier – SQS/HTTP

Version -> (string)

The version of this environment tier. When you don’t set a value to it, Elastic Beanstalk uses the latest compatible worker tier version.

Note

This member is deprecated. Any specific version that you set may become out of date. We recommend leaving it unspecified.

Shorthand Syntax:

Name=string,Type=string,Version=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Name": "string",
  "Type": "string",
  "Version": "string"
}

--tags (list)

Specifies the tags applied to resources in the environment.

(structure)

Describes a tag applied to a resource in an environment.

Key -> (string)

The key of the tag.

Value -> (string)

The value of the tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--version-label (string)

The name of the application version to deploy.

Default: If not specified, Elastic Beanstalk attempts to deploy the sample application.

--template-name (string)

The name of the Elastic Beanstalk configuration template to use with the environment.

Note

If you specify TemplateName , then don’t specify SolutionStackName .

--solution-stack-name (string)

The name of an Elastic Beanstalk solution stack (platform version) to use with the environment. If specified, Elastic Beanstalk sets the configuration values to the default values associated with the specified solution stack. For a list of current solution stacks, see Elastic Beanstalk Supported Platforms in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platforms guide.

Note

If you specify SolutionStackName , don’t specify PlatformArn or TemplateName .

--platform-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the custom platform to use with the environment. For more information, see Custom Platforms in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide .

Note

If you specify PlatformArn , don’t specify SolutionStackName .

--option-settings (list)

If specified, AWS Elastic Beanstalk sets the specified configuration options to the requested value in the configuration set for the new environment. These override the values obtained from the solution stack or the configuration template.

(structure)

A specification identifying an individual configuration option along with its current value. For a list of possible namespaces and option values, see Option Values in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide .

ResourceName -> (string)

A unique resource name for the option setting. Use it for a time–based scaling configuration option.

Namespace -> (string)

A unique namespace that identifies the option’s associated AWS resource.

OptionName -> (string)

The name of the configuration option.

Value -> (string)

The current value for the configuration option.

Shorthand Syntax:

ResourceName=string,Namespace=string,OptionName=string,Value=string ...

    "OptionName": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--options-to-remove (list)

A list of custom user-defined configuration options to remove from the configuration set for this new environment.

(structure)

A specification identifying an individual configuration option.

ResourceName -> (string)

A unique resource name for a time-based scaling configuration option.

Namespace -> (string)

A unique namespace identifying the option’s associated AWS resource.

OptionName -> (string)

The name of the configuration option.

Shorthand Syntax:

ResourceName=string,Namespace=string,OptionName=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "ResourceName": "string",
    "Namespace": "string",
    "OptionName": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--operations-role (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an existing IAM role to be used as the environment’s operations role. If specified, Elastic Beanstalk uses the operations role for permissions to downstream services during this call and during subsequent calls acting on this environment. To specify an operations role, you must have the iam:PassRole permission for the role. For more information, see Operations roles in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide .

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To create a new environment for an application

The following command creates a new environment for version “v1” of a java application named “my-app”:

aws elasticbeanstalk create-environment --application-name my-app --environment-name my-env --cname-prefix my-app --version-label v1 --solution-stack-name "64bit Amazon Linux 2015.03 v2.0.0 running Tomcat 8 Java 8"

Output:

{
  "ApplicationName": "my-app",
  "EnvironmentName": "my-env",
  "VersionLabel": "v1",
  "Status": "Launching",
  "EnvironmentId": "e-izqpassy4h",
  "SolutionStackName": "64bit Amazon Linux 2015.03 v2.0.0 running Tomcat 8 Java 8",
  "CNAME": "my-app.elasticbeanstalk.com",
  "Health": "Grey",
  "Tier": {
      "Type": "Standard",
      "Name": "WebServer",
      "Version": " "
  },
  "DateUpdated": "2015-02-03T23:04:54.479Z",
  "DateCreated": "2015-02-03T23:04:54.479Z"
}

v1 is the label of an application version previously uploaded with create-application-version.

To specify a JSON file to define environment configuration options

The following create-environment command specifies that a JSON file with the name myoptions.json should be used to override values obtained from the solution stack or the configuration template:

aws elasticbeanstalk create-environment --environment-name sample-env --application-name sampleapp --option-settings file://myoptions.json

myoptions.json is a JSON object defining several settings:

[
  {
    "Namespace": "aws:elb:healthcheck",
    "OptionName": "Interval",
    "Value": "15"
  },
  {
    "Namespace": "aws:elb:healthcheck",
    "OptionName": "Timeout",
    "Value": "8"
  },
  {
    "Namespace": "aws:elb:healthcheck",
    "OptionName": "HealthyThreshold",
    "Value": "2"
  },
  {
    "Namespace": "aws:elb:healthcheck",
    "OptionName": "UnhealthyThreshold",
    "Value": "3"
  }
]
