EB Deploy to multiple environments

Question

I have the same codebase (one git repository) that I want to upload to multiple elastic beanstalk environments. Is there a way to do this, and if so how should I set up my repository in such a way that I can push to multiple environments?

The environments are different language versions of the site, that I want to run in different beanstalks. The language is set by the environment parameters.

Answer 1

To answer my own question. The AWS EB CLI 3+ has a nice interface to deploy to multiple environments. If you add another environment to your application you can simply deploy by using

eb deploy <environment-name>

Answer 2

You can make the eb cli refer to different environments from different branches by adding config like the following to your .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml file:

branch-defaults:
  main:
    environment: staging
  production:
    environment: production

In this example When you run eb deploy from the "main" branch, it will deploy to your environment named "staging", whereas when you run it from the "production" branch, it will deploy to your environment named "production".

This approach requires each environment have a dedicated branch. To push one branch to multiple environments, you can use @adnan's answer and specify a branch when you use the eb deploy command:

eb deploy <environment_name>

Answer 3

If you specify the version label you can use that version in the other eb deploy commands:

eb deploy my-first-env -l version-1 && eb deploy my-second-env --version version-1
