Elastic Beanstalk supported platforms
AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides a variety of platforms on which you can build your applications. You design your web application to one of these platforms, and Elastic Beanstalk deploys your code to the platform version you selected to create an active application environment.
Elastic Beanstalk provides platforms for programming languages (Go, Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby), application servers (Tomcat, Passenger, Puma), and Docker containers. Some platforms have multiple concurrently-supported versions.
Elastic Beanstalk provisions the resources needed to run your application, including one or more Amazon EC2 instances. The software stack running on the Amazon EC2 instances depends on the specific platform version you've selected for your environment.
You can customize and configure the software that your application depends on in your platform. Learn more at Customizing software on Linux servers and Customizing software on Windows servers. Detailed release notes are available for recent releases at AWS Elastic Beanstalk Release Notes.
