Editing Deploying a Django app on AWS (section)

== Saving and applying Elastic Beanstalk environment configuration ==

Elastic Beanstalk environment configuration is controlled through the '''Configuration''' panel of the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console. 

For example, it's necessary to configure Security Groups and  Environment Variables to support [[Using_Elastic_Beanstalk_With_Amazon_RDS#Grant_RDS_access_for_the_Elastic_Beanstalk_environment|connecting to independent RDS instances]].

To save an environment's configuration to apply again later if an environment is created from scratch, save the environment configuration.

From the AWS EB console: ''select application'' > ''select environment'' > '''Actions''' button at the upper right > '''Save Configuration'''

From the eb cli: `eb save environment-name`. This will save the configuration under `.elasticbeanstalk/saved_configs/env-name-version.cfg.yml`

To apply a saved configuration to an Elastic Beanstalk environment:

'''AWS EB console''' > ''select application'' > ''select environment'' > '''Actions''' button at the upper right > '''Load Configuration'''
