Creating an Elastic Beanstalk Application

Install the Elastic Beanstalk Command Line Interface (EB CLI)

Go to Install the Elastic Beanstalk Command Line Interface (EB CLI) for instructions.

Create the application

$ mkdir my-app
$ cd my-app
$ eb init my-app -p PHP

Here were telling the eb cli to create an application called my-app, and then set platform -p to be PHP. If application name is omitted it will default to the current folder name. Next, you will be prompted Select a default region. Just choose your account's region. For Example: region-here.console.aws.amazon.com where region-here is the region name.

Create an environment

Lets create the environment. Assuming you have installed your app in the folder.

$ eb create env-name --database --database.engine mysql --database.instance db.t2.micro

The --database flag tells eb to also create a database for our environment. We specify the type of database we are going to use --database.engine which is mysql. And finally the database tier plan that we are going to use, db.t2.micro in this case.
