AWS – AWS Elastic Beanstalk adds default support of EC2 Launch Template when creating new environments

With AWS Elastic Beanstalk, you can easily deploy and manage applications in AWS without worrying about configuring the infrastructure that runs those applications. Now, AWS Elastic Beanstalk will support EC2 Launch Template in Elastic Beanstalk environments by default after the deprecation of EC2 Launch Configuration. With this feature, you will not need to manually set certain configuration options in any AWS accounts, as described in documentation, to direct AWS Elastic Beanstalk to use the EC2 Launch Template when creating new environments.

Elastic Beanstalk’s support for EC2 Launch Template is generally available in commercial regions where Elastic Beanstalk is available including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For a complete list of regions and service offerings, see AWS Regions.
