In one sentence
A managed application deployment service that provisions common AWS infrastructure from uploaded application code.
Key points
- Upload application code and Beanstalk creates and operates resources such as EC2, load balancers, and Auto Scaling.
- It is a PaaS-style experience, while the underlying resources remain visible and configurable.
- It suits conventional web applications that need faster deployment without designing every resource manually.
Exam takeaway
CloudFormation manages general infrastructure; Beanstalk focuses on application deployment and environments.
