AWS Elastic Beanstalk now supports functionality that makes it easy to update a Beanstalk environment status when it enters into an invalid state during an update failure.
With AWS Elastic Beanstalk, you can easily deploy and manage applications in AWS without worrying about the infrastructure that runs those applications. However, there can be situations where a Beanstalk environment can become unavailable when the stack associated with it goes into an invalid status. Previously, when that happened, customers needed to contact AWS support to update their Beanstalk environment status in order to proceed. Now, Beanstalk will prompt you with a request to fix your underlying stack. You’ll be directed to a guide that walks you through the process step-by-step. Once you’ve made the adjustments, simply retry the request. Beanstalk will then automatically set the environment to available and complete the operation, minimizing downtime and complexity.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment recovery 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.
For more information about the recovery process see the Elastic Beanstalk developer guide. To learn more about Elastic Beanstalk, visit the Elastic Beanstalk product page.
