Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Elastic Beanstalk Deploy web and worker applications to production on AWS with full lifecycle management. Elastic Beanstalk is an application management service: the user provides application code, AWS manages everything underneath (deployment, scaling, patching, monitoring, health response). ## When to Use Elastic Beanstalk is the right choice when: - User explicitly asks for Elastic Beanstalk, EB, or a managed application platform - User says "don't want to manage servers", "managed patching", or "Heroku-like" - User is migrating from Heroku, Render, or Railway - User wants AWS to manage ongoing operational lifecycle (patching, scaling, health monitoring, rollback, deployments) after initial setup - App is a web framework, API, or background worker on a standard runtime and the user signals low infrastructure involvement Elastic Beanstalk is NOT the right choice when: - User explicitly wants serverless/Lambda — this imposes a different programming model (event-driven functions, stateless, cold starts, 15-min max execution) rather than just eliminating server management - User wants fine-grained container orchestration control (use ECS) - User already has Kubernetes expertise an

What does the elastic-beanstalk skill do?
Deploy to AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

Covers Elastic Beanstalk on EC2 for web and worker applications.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add awslabs/agent-plugins --skill elastic-beanstalk --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From awslabs/agent-plugins, a repository with 850 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
