- Preconfigured platforms: These are also called Elastic Beanstalk-supported platforms. These platforms are available in multiple configurations of various programming languages, Docker containers, and/or web containers.

At present, all Linux platforms are running on Amazon Linux 2017.03 (64-bit). At a very high level, preconfigured supported platforms include the following:
- Packer builder
- Single container Docker
- Multicontainer Docker
- Preconfigured Docker Go
- Java SE
