You can customize your environment to receive email notifications about important events for your application.

Some configuration changes are simple and happen quickly. Others require that AWS Elastic Beanstalk delete and re-create AWS resources, which can take several minutes. AWS Elastic Beanstalk will warn you about possible application downtime before it changes configuration settings.

For this example, you will add your email address to receive event notifications.

To change your environment configuration

• In the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console, click the environment that is hosting your application.

• Click Configuration
• Click the settings gear in the Notifications box.

• In the Email box, type your email address, and then click Save.

• Wait for AWS Elastic Beanstalk to update your environment.

Congratulations! You've deployed and made changes to your first sample application using AWS Elastic Beanstalk in the free usage tier.
