Deploying the 2048 Game on AWS Elastic Beanstalk ๐ŸŽฎ

Task-01:

Deploy the 2048-gameusing the AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

Step 1: create ec2 instance

Step 2: connect to EC2 instance through SSH and Clone the game repository into your local machine.

Repo link: https://github.com/Simbaa815/2048-game

Step 3: Let's build an docker image for game app.

Step 4: Run a Container from the Image by publishing and binding ports 80:80 so that user can connect from outside as well to the container.

Step 5: verify deployment by navigate public ip:80 in browser window

Our code deployed successfully on EC2 instance.

Task-02 Hosting 2048 game in AWS Elastic Beanstalk:

  1. Head to AWS Elastic Beanstalk in your AWS Management Console.

  2. Create a new environment for your game.

  3. Upload application code that is Dockerfile and configure settings.

  4. Launch the environment and watch your game go live!

After successful environment creation, we can access 2048 game using the provided domain link.

Excited for the journey ahead? Let's embrace the power of AWS Elastic Beanstalk and master the art of scalable deployments! Stay tuned for more tech adventures. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ป #AWS #ElasticBeanstalk #DevOps #TechLearning #CloudComputing
