A script to deploy to AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

eb-deploy needs the following information:

• WAR file location
• Build number
• Elastic Beanstalk IAM profile
• Elastic Beanstalk Application
• Elastic Beanstalk Environment
• AWS key
• AWS secret

Each one of them can be passed either as options to the command line or be present as environment variables.

eb-deploy options
  
Deploy a war file to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. You can pass params as options or 
have them be present as environment variables mentioned under the name specified for that option.
  
   -w      $APP_WAR                    | war file location of the form /var/app/target/scala-2.10/app_2.10-0.1
   -v      $CI_BUILD_NUMBER            | used to create full war file : $APP_WAR.$CI_BUILD_NUMBER.war
   -k      $APP_AWS_ACCESS_KEY         | AWS Key
   -s      $APP_AWS_SECRET_KEY         | AWS Secret
   -p      $APP_EB_InstanceProfileName | Elastic Beanstalk IAM Profile
   -a      $APP_EB_ApplicationName     | Elastic Beanstalk Application name
   -e      $APP_EB_EnvironmentName     | Elastic Beanstalk Environment name
   

Please note that that the WAR file location and Build Number are passed as such: if the war file is at /var/app/target/scala-2.10/app_2.10-0.1.213.war then "WAR file location" should be /var/app/target/scala-2.10/app_2.10-0.1 and "build number" should be 213. eb-deploy will then combine the two and suffix it with .war to create the far file name. This is a bit clunky and should be improved :(

Although eb-deploy deploys war files, it can be adapted to deploy any other kind of archive. If there is interest, file an issue and I'll get to it. Or better still, the code should be pretty readable, improve it and send in a pull request.
