Elastic Beanstalk Change ELB Type












7















Does anyone know if it's possible to change an existing AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment to an Application Load Balancer (instead of a classic one).



As far as I know only Application ELB's can be protected with AWS WAF and DDOS "Shield" so any existing EB app can't take advantage of these features since they have classic ELB's.

          Hello As Per AWS Documentation:




          The Elastic Beanstalk Environment Management Console only supports
          creating and managing an Elastic Beanstalk environment with a Classic
          Load Balancer. For other options, see Application Load Balancer and
          Network Load Balancer.




          Also




          Note You can only set the load balancer type during environment
          creation. (Refer AWS Documetnation)




          So When you deploy application to Elastic Beanstalk via AWS CLI:



          Try



          eb create test-env --elb-type network


          or



          eb create test-env --elb-type application

            Thanks, that's a shame. It means any existing environments can't be changed I'd presume then.

          • Annoying how coy the official docs are about this in other places. You can use the EC2 load balancer migration wizard to generate a second application load balancer which forwards to the classic one, if you don't mind paying twice and it serves your purposes.

          It is not possible to change the load balancer type for an existing environment but I have used the following process to create a cloned environment with an application load balancer (instead of classic).




          1. In the console, save configuration of the original env.

          2. In terminal, eb config get [save name], you will get a file in .elasticbeanstalksaved_configs .

          3. Edit the file to add


          OptionSettings:
          aws:elasticbeanstalk:environment:
          LoadBalancerType: application



          and remove (if you have those):



          aws:elb:loadbalancer:
          CrossZone: true
          aws:elb:policies:
          ConnectionDrainingEnabled: true
          aws:elb:listener:443:
          [whatever]



          You can use this opportunity to do other changes, such as upgrade PlatformArn




          1. Save modified config as [new save name].

          2. In terminal, eb config put [new save name] .

          3. Update your .ebextensions to have LoadBalancerType: application and optionally add listener to elbv2. You can also create in the console manually later.


          aws:elbv2:listener:443:
          ListenerEnabled: true
          SSLPolicy: ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS-1-2-2017-01
          SSLCertificateArns: [your cert id]
          DefaultProcess: default
          Protocol: HTTPS
          Rules: ''




          1. Create a new env with eb create [new env name] --cfg [new save name]


          Now you will have a new environment with a different load balancer type side-by-side with your old environment. You can perform testing, make further configuration changes and then if all is well, swap CNAMEs and terminate the previous environment.

                3. Edit the file to add


                OptionSettings:
                aws:elasticbeanstalk:environment:
                LoadBalancerType: application



                and remove (if you have those):



                aws:elb:loadbalancer:
                CrossZone: true
                aws:elb:policies:
                ConnectionDrainingEnabled: true
                aws:elb:listener:443:
                [whatever]



                You can use this opportunity to do other changes, such as upgrade PlatformArn




                1. Save modified config as [new save name].

                2. In terminal, eb config put [new save name] .

                3. Update your .ebextensions to have LoadBalancerType: application and optionally add listener to elbv2. You can also create in the console manually later.


                aws:elbv2:listener:443:
                ListenerEnabled: true
                SSLPolicy: ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS-1-2-2017-01
                SSLCertificateArns: [your cert id]
                DefaultProcess: default
                Protocol: HTTPS
                Rules: ''




                1. Create a new env with eb create [new env name] --cfg [new save name]


                Now you will have a new environment with a different load balancer type side-by-side with your old environment. You can perform testing, make further configuration changes and then if all is well, swap CNAMEs and terminate the previous environment.

                It is not possible to change the load balancer type for an existing environment but I have used the following process to create a cloned environment with an application load balancer (instead of classic).




                1. In the console, save configuration of the original env.

                2. In terminal, eb config get [save name], you will get a file in .elasticbeanstalksaved_configs .

                3. Edit the file to add


                OptionSettings:
                aws:elasticbeanstalk:environment:
                LoadBalancerType: application



                and remove (if you have those):



                aws:elb:loadbalancer:
                CrossZone: true
                aws:elb:policies:
                ConnectionDrainingEnabled: true
                aws:elb:listener:443:
                [whatever]
