Setting up Elastic Beanstalk

Initiate the Elastic Beanstalk application

Connect to AWS through command prompt by copying the AWS window access paths.
```
SET AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<aws_access_key_id>
SET AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<aws_secret_access_key>
SET AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=<aws_session_token>
```
Note: The AWS access keys update every now and then, so need to copy the access keys frequently and paste into the Windows command prompt.
- Use the administrative access if possible.
- Copy the keys from the Windows tab, under Option 1.

Set up the eb platform.

eb platform select

Select a platform branch.
1) Python 3.11 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2023
2) Python 3.9 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2023
3) Python 3.8 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2
4) Python 3.7 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2 (Deprecated)

Initiate the Elastic Beanstalk application, which creates a config.yml.

eb init -p python-3.11 isoVisDev

Note: Ensure that the region is correct (matching with region stated in the AWS web) in the config.yml

The config.yml is created in the .elasticbeanstalk folder.

 isoVisDev
 ├───manage.py
 ├───requirements.txt
 ├───.ebextensions
 |     ├───django.config
 ├───.elasticbeanstalk
 |     ├───config.yml  
 └───isoVisDev

And the content of the config.yml:

branch-defaults:
  default:
    environment: isoVisDev
    group_suffix: null
  main:
    environment: isoVisDev
global:
  application_name: isoVisDev
  branch: null
  default_ec2_keyname: null
  default_platform: Python 3.11
  default_region: eu-north-1        # change this region
  include_git_submodules: true
  instance_profile: null
  platform_name: null
  platform_version: null
  profile: null
  repository: null
  sc: null
  workspace_type: Application

Create Elastic Beanstalk environment to run application.
```
eb create isoVisDev-env --region eu-north-1 
eb status
```
Note: This creates the isoVisDev-env. Replace this with the name of environment to create.
