Builds and deploys containerized workloads on Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Elastic Container Service (ECS), Fargate, and ECR (Elastic Container Registry). Covers general EKS knowledge, Karpenter, AWS Load Balancer Controller and leveraging various open source Kubernetes projects with EKS. Covers general ECS knowledge, task definitions, Fargate services, ECS Exec, ECS Express Mode and ECS Managed Instances. Covers general Elastic Beanstalk knowledge, Elastic Beanstalk configuration and platforms supported by Elastic Beanstalk. Covers general ECR knowledge, ECR repository setup and lifecycle policies. Includes recommending, enabling, and reading Amazon ECS Action Logs to troubleshoot control-plane failures (deployment rollback/circuit-breaker, task placement, scaling, task replacement). Applies when deploying, debugging, or optimizing containers on AWS. Should be used instead of relying on internal knowledge for these services.

Elastic Beanstalk - Supported Platforms

These rules apply after Elastic Beanstalk has been selected as the deployment target by the deploy skill.

Detect the application's language and framework, then map to an EB platform branch.

Platform Detection

Signal in Codebase EB Platform Notes
requirements.txt, Pipfile, pyproject.toml Python on AL2023 Django, Flask, FastAPI
package.json (backend Node.js) Node.js on AL2023 Express, NestJS, Fastify, Hono
pom.xml, build.gradle, .jar Corretto on AL2023 Spring Boot, Quarkus
pom.xml, build.gradle, .war Tomcat on AL2023 WAR-based Java web apps
Gemfile, config.ru Ruby on AL2023 Rails, Sinatra
go.mod Go on AL2023 Any Go HTTP server
*.csproj, *.sln (ASP.NET Core) .NET on AL2023 ASP.NET Core on Linux
*.csproj, *.sln (.NET Framework) .NET on Windows Server IIS, .NET Framework 4.x
composer.json PHP on AL2023 Laravel, Symfony
Dockerfile Docker on AL2023 Any containerized app

Platform Selection Rules

  1. If Dockerfile exists AND a language runtime is also detected, ask the user for an explicit selection.
  2. If multiple languages detected, ask the user for an explicit selection.
  3. Always use Amazon Linux 2023 unless the app requires Windows (.NET Framework, IIS dependencies).
  4. For Java apps: if .war file, deploy to Tomcat platform. If .jar with embedded server (Spring Boot), use Corretto platform.
  5. Always use the latest supported runtime version unless the application specifies a version constraint (e.g., engines in package.json, <TargetFramework> in .csproj).

Supported Deployment Artifacts

Platform Accepted Input
Language platforms Source bundle (zip of source code)
.NET Published output (dotnet publish zip, not source)
Java (.jar) Built artifact (fat jar or exploded directory)
Docker Source bundle containing Dockerfile
Docker (pre-built) Dockerfile with FROM referencing ECR/registry image

.NET and Java platforms require pre-built artifacts. Run dotnet publish or mvn package/gradle build before zipping. Other language platforms (Python, Node.js, Ruby, Go, PHP) accept raw source and build on-instance.

Worker Platform Considerations

Worker environments use the same platforms as web server environments. The difference is the SQS daemon that delivers messages to the application over HTTP on localhost. The application must expose an HTTP endpoint (default: POST /) that processes each message.
