Practical AWS Networking

Creating instances in a VPC

Let's try to create instances in the VPC that we created earlier in this chapter. We will try to launch the Elastic Beanstalk environment in the packt VPC and verify the instances it creates in the background in VPC. Elastic Beanstalk is a PaaS offering from AWS:

  1. Go to Services | Compute | Elastic Beanstalk.
  2. Click on Create New Application.
  3. Supply an Application Name and click on Create.
We can create multiple environments for application deployment in Elastic Beanstalk.
  1. Click on Create one now:
  1. Select Web server environment since we are going to deploy a Spring-based web application in Elastic Beanstalk.
  2. Click on Select:
  1. Supply the environment name, domain name, and so on:
  1. In the base configuration sections, select Tomcat in the platform field.
  2. Click on Upload your code.
  1. Click on the Upload button:
  1. Click on Source...

Summary

We are at the end of this chapter, so let's summarize what we have covered.

We have covered two ways to create a virtual private cloud: one with the wizard and one without it. Of course, creating a VPC with the wizard is quicker and easier, but it is more desirable to work with a custom VPC first so that we know what is going on behind the scenes when we create a VPC with the wizard.

Once we had created a custom VPC, we created an application in Elastic Beanstalk that is a PaaS offering from AWS. We then created an environment in the application and deployed a sample application in the environment. While creating and configuring the application and environment, we configured our custom VPC for launching instances; hence, all the instances that were created in the PaaS will be created in the custom VPC. 

The user should delete the VPC in order to avoid unnecessary...

This book is so basic that it has absolutely no value at all. Save yourself the money and download the Amazon Web Services manuals that are offered free online. You’ll learn so much more without wasting money on an expensive book.So very disappointing.

I was surprised a reputable book publisher would offer such a valueless product. The book is poorly written with bad grammar which in my view could have easily been corrected by basic proofreading. The content is small, shallow depth, and appears to just be a reproduction of what is already available in the free online Amazon documentation - which is frankly of much higher quality (and likely not to go out of date). I was looking for a book on networking that would help bridge the gap between the technical documentation and general networking concepts, but the book does not deliver on any level of the imagination.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
