One of the key features of a cloud is to provide its users and developers with a seamless and easy to use platform for developing and deploying their applications. That's exactly where Elastic Beanstalk comes in. Elastic Beanstalk was first launched in the year 2011, and has continuously evolved to become a full-fledged PaaS offering from AWS.
Elastic Beanstalk is your one-stop shop for quickly deploying and managing your web applications in AWS. All you need to do is upload your code to Beanstalk, and voila! Elastic Beanstalk takes care of the entire application's deployment process, from EC2 capacity provisioning to auto-scaling the instances and even load balancing using an ELB! Elastic Beanstalk does it all so that you can concentrate on more important tasks, such as developing your applications and not getting bogged down with complex operational nuances.
But for me, Beanstalk is much more than just the deployment and management of your applications...
