Question

I have a web application developed with Struts2, JSP, JPA, Spring and MySql. I want to move this application to Amazon Cloud. I have not done a cloud deployment before or know how to do it.
Can anyone help me on a step by step process or a procedure to follow or a document that will guide me in doing this. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Got it… thanks for the detailed description.
You can make it in two ways

1. Create a singleBeanstalk application.

create different environments for each company within the created application, and in every environment deploy the .war file and provide the resources as per your requirement such as tomcat 6/7, minimum number of instances & maximum number of instances for Auto scaling. Health check monitor interval, no. of times to check before timeout etc.,. and finally assign the cname (i.e, the url by which you access the application) associated with the company name, like if the webapp is for xyz company then provide cname as xyz.elasticbeanstalk.com.

2 . Create multiple Beanstalk applications i.e., one for every company and in each application you can create multiple environments like Development, Beta, Staging and live – based on your requirement.

And coming to DB

Go for RDS if your DB is relational DB. Two ways to plan for multiple company’s is

1) Create a single RDS and create multiple schema’s in it i.e., one schema for one organization.

2) Create separate RDS for every organization – recommended if DB records are more

Let me know if you have any queries.
