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available in the free online Amazon documentation - which is frankly of much higher quality (and likely not to go out of date).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.
