[SOLVED] How can I programmatically get which application version is deployed to an Elastic Beanstalk Environment

Issue

I'm trying to determine winch application version is deployed to the environment my code is running on.

I know that Elastic Beanstalk is tracking this as you can view it from:

In Elastic Beanstalk Console:

All Applications > [Application Name] -> Application versions

In the table displayed here, it shows the Version Label, and a list of which Environments it's Deployed To

Does anyone know how to query the EC2 container / EB from within the instance / environment to get the Version Label of the currently deployed application version? Thanks.

Solution

As per the AWS docs here, you can use the eb cli command eb status {environment-name} which will give you an output that includes the Deployed Version:

$ eb status
Environment details for: tmp-dev
  Application name: tmp
  Region: us-west-2
  Deployed Version: None
  Environment ID: e-2cpfjbra9a
  Platform: 64bit Amazon Linux 2014.09 v1.0.9 running PHP 5.5
  Tier: WebServer-Standard-1.0
  CNAME: tmp-dev.elasticbeanstalk.com
