Deploy multiple platforms to Elastic Beanstalk

Question

Is it possible to deploy multiple platforms to AWS?

I have a PHP application that I would also like to run a small python script.

I see the PHP platform installs Python by default, but using eb deploy AWS does not pick up requirements.txt and install the dependencies.

I have tried installing requirements.txt manually which hangs when trying to install lxml. I also tried adding a config file:

option_settings:
  aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:
    WSGIPath: application.py
    NumProcesses: 3
    NumThreads: 20

But now eb deploy gives an error.

So, what is the proper way to run multiple platforms side by side?

Answer 1

Solve by using .ebextentions to run pre-install commands in the container during deployment, which required setting the system path during eb deploy
