Elastic Beanstalk concepts

- [Instructor] Elastic Beanstalk is a complete solution…for developers that want to deploy their applications…and not worry at all about managing infrastructure.…So far in this course, we have committed, built,…and deployed code to our servers.…But still, we are responsible for those servers.…We are responsible for high availability,…we need to keep backups, and we need to set up…health checks, alarms, and track metrics…to improve our application.…We also have to install the code deploy agent…in our target servers.…

It gets even more complex if we add a database to the mix,…which would need constant patching,…upgrading and backups, and monitoring.…Beanstalk manages all this automatically for you.…You provide your application, and Beanstalk does the rest.…We're going to create a sample Beanstalk app,…which we'll then use to serve…our Tomcat base web application.…We'll set everything up in the Beanstalk console,…and then go back to code pipeline…and use it to deploy our generated build,…to our Beanstalk managed infrastructure.…
