What Goes in Your Config File

A short guide as to what needs to go in your config file for deployment as well as where you might find them.

Mandatory Options

  • aws_profile

  • aws_region

The region where your resource is going to reside in. This is up to you but please ensure that it is consistent throughout your app. You can find more details as well the list of possible regions at this link.

  • kms_arn

You should have created a key as detailed here to handle any secrets within Credstash. To get the ARN of your key, go to the IAM service page --> Encryption Keys and find the key that you have created. Copy the entire ARN of your key for this field.

Not-so-mandatory Options

  • vpc_id

VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is an isolated virtual network in the AWS cloud. You can find your VPC ID by going to the VPC service page and searching the table in Your VPCs.

  • vpc_security_groups

Find your relevant security group by going to the VPC service page and searching the table in Security Groups for the groups relevant to your app. You might have more than one security group. You will need to copy their group IDs.

If your application has a database, you will also need to include your RDS security group by looking up your DB instance on AWS RDS.

  • instance_count

  • instance_size

You can specify the instance type and instance size which best fits your app. More details on the different types/sizes which exist can be found here.

  • platform_arn

The ARN of the custom platform you are using. We offer two versions of custom platforms so far for the regions eu-west-1 and eu-west-2.

eu-west-1: arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:eu-west-1:160153085320:platform/AscentialPlatform_Ubuntu/1.0.42 eu-west-2: arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:eu-west-2:160153085320:platform/AscentialPlatform_Ubuntu/1.0.2

If this does not fit your requirements, you can create your own custom beanstalk platform.

  • environment

Specify the name of the environment you are deploying (e.g. test, deployment, production etc). You can create and manage separate environments for your application.

  • vpc_ec2_subnets

Your private subnet IDs belong here. Find your relevant private subnet IDs by going to the VPC service page and searching under Subnets. You might have more than one security group. An easy way to narrow things down would be to search the subnets by your VPC id.

  • vpc_elb_subnets

Your public subnet IDs belong here. Find your relevant private subnet IDs by going to the VPC service page and searching under Subnets. You might have more than one security group. An easy way to narrow things down would be to search the subnets by your VPC id.

  • key_name
