Answer – A
Differences from Version 3 of EB CLI
EB is a command line interface (CLI) tool for Elastic Beanstalk that you can use to deploy applications quickly and more easily. The latest version of EB was introduced by Elastic Beanstalk in EB CLI 3. Although Elastic Beanstalk still supports EB 2.6 for customers who previously installed and continue to use it, you should migrate to the latest version of EB CLI 3, as it can manage environments that you launched using EB CLI 2.6 or earlier versions of EB CLI. EB CLI automatically retrieves settings from an environment created using EB if the environment is running. Note that EB CLI 3 does not store option settings locally, as in earlier versions.
EB CLI introduces the commands eb create, eb deploy, eb open, eb console, eb scale, eb setenv, eb config, eb terminate, eb clone, eb list, eb use, eb printenv, and eb ssh. In EB CLI 3.1 or later, you can also use the eb swap command. In EB CLI 3.2 only, you can use the eb abort, eb platform, and eb upgrade commands. In addition to these new commands, EB CLI 3 commands differ from EB CLI 2.6 commands in several cases:
eb init – Use eb init to create an .elasticbeanstalk directory in an existing project directory and create a new Elastic Beanstalk application for the project. Unlike with previous versions, EB CLI 3 and later versions do not prompt you to create an environment.
eb start – EB CLI 3 does not include the command eb start. Use eb create to create an environment.
eb stop – EB CLI 3 does not include the command eb stop. Use eb terminate to completely terminate an environment and clean up.
eb push and git aws.push – EB CLI 3 does not include the commands eb push or git aws.push. Use eb deploy to update your application code.
eb update – EB CLI 3 does not include the command eb update. Use eb config to update an environment.
eb branch – EB CLI 3 does not include the command eb branch.
