After deploying the USA AWS beanstalk environment in ec2 (ec2 in China),I cannot get platform information under the aws china beanstalk environment

Question

To deploy the USA AWS beanstalk environment in China EC2 instance, I use the following shell command：

[root@ip-10-0-0-1 ~]#echo -e "[profile eb-cli]\naws_access_key_id = 123\naws_secret_access_key = 234" > /root/.aws/config 
[root@ip-10-0-0-1 ~]#echo -e "[profile eb-cli]\naws_access_key_id = 123\naws_secret_access_key = 234" > /root/.aws/credentials 
[root@ip-10-0-0-1 ~]#eb init worldcup --region us-west-1 --platform "arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:us-west-1::platform/Tomcat 8 with Java 8 running on 64bit Amazon Linux/2.7.7" 
[root@ip-10-0-0-1 ~]#eb deploy "worldcup-dev" --version 6ad83ed9f599a8c9c967ef2f7168127f8dee2123-675

It's finished.

Then I use aws access key in Chinese region to get the platform information of china aws beanstalk specified environment:

[root@ip-10-0-0-1 ~]#echo -e "[profile eb-cli]\naws_access_key_id = 456\naws_secret_access_key = 789" > /root/.aws/config 
[root@ip-10-0-0-1 ~]#echo -e "[profile eb-cli]\naws_access_key_id = 456\naws_secret_access_key = 789" > /root/.aws/credentials 
[root@ip-10-0-0-1 ~]#eb use chinacup-dev --region cn-north-1
[root@ip-10-0-0-1 ~]#eb platform show --region cn-north-1

ERROR: InvalidParameterValueError - Platform 'arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:us-west-1::platform/Tomcat 8 with Java 8 running on 64bit Amazon Linux/2.7.7' is in a different region.

How should I solve the above problem ?

Answer 1

The problem is that arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:us-west-1::platform/Tomcat 8 with Java 8 running on 64bit Amazon Linux/2.7.7 is not valid in cn-north-1.

Open .elasticbeanstalk/config.yml and change the default_platform to the equivalent platform ARN in the cn-north-1 region. You can find the equivalent platform ARN in the cn-north-1 region by executing:

aws elasticbeanstalk list-platform-versions --region cn-north-1 --filters "Type=PlatformName,Operator='contains',Values='Tomcat 8'" | grep "PlatformArn"
