Debugging AWS Elasticbeanstalk

Elasticbeanstalk environment can go down due to multiple causes, here are few instances, which I faced, and the steps I followed to resolve the issues.

Ran out of diskspace — Not able ssh to EB to find the issues, even the logs were not listing anything

Sol:

• Increase the EBS root-volume to 50 GB(or as per the requirement)
• Terminate EB instances
• ASG will launch the new instances with increase root volume size.

IPv6 issues — Not able ssh to EB instances to find the issues, even the logs were not listing anything

Sol:

• Disabled ipv6 on vpc
• Terminate eb instances
• ASG will launch the new instances with increase root volume size.
