It could be difficult for developers to build the infrastructure, configure the OS, install the required dependencies, and deploy the web services. AWS Elastic Beanstalk removes the need to manually build an infrastructure for the developer and makes it possible for them to quickly deploy and manage a web application on AWS of any scale. Developers just need to upload the code and the rest of the things such as capacity provisioning, building, and configuring AWS resources such as EC2 instances, ELB, Auto Scaling, and application health monitoring will be taken care of by Elastic Beanstalk.
