ElasticBeanstalk takes care of deployment to a Highly Available & Fault Tolerant Architecture, so that you can focus on you code. Without needing to know how to deploy into VPC, in multiple AZ's across ELB (Elastic LoadBalancing), to multiple EC2 instances on a elastic scaling group.

Deployment Options

Can set minimum config for running deployments across AZ's

• All at once - not ideal as system interruption
• Rolling - one at a time
• Immutable - does it in parallel (doubles capacity), no down time
• Blue - Green (to two environments), do one at a time. Dev becomes production, and production becomes Dev environment
