This project is a simple Spring Boot application intended to demonstrate some deployment automation capabilities of AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

The application code is taken from the public Spring REST app example code here; the documentation there can be used to interact with the application to test the database connection of the app and perform CRUD operations on the 'People' objects in the database.

If desired, the user can (re)generate the deployable jar file by running ./gradlew build in the project root directory. This is not necessary, however, as the jar is already generated for convenience here.

To deploy the app, perform the following:

1. in properties.sh, change the values of ACCOUNTID and KEYNAME to the AWS account number and the key name for that account to be used to interact via the Elastic Beanstalk CLI.
2. generate a local RSA ssh keypair with the same name as KEYNAME to be used to interact with AWS
3. replace the value default_ec2_keyname: AKIAJ74PSHZK4GJOFHDA in .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml with the new value for KEYNAME
4. from the project root directory, execute bash eb-create.sh to create the EC2 stack and deploy the Spring Boot application jar to the generated infrastructure
