Deploy Application to ElasticBeanstalk
Deploy to ElasticBeanstalk
Now that we know the app runs, you will create a new environment in AWS using Elastic Beanstalk and host our TravelBuddy web application there so that it can be accessed by users on the Internet. Elastic Beanstalk removes the burden of provisioning and managing web-based applications. Your application can be migrated to Elastic Beanstalk without any modification, so this is the easiest way to migrate the existing application.
