Run AWS Elastic Beanstalk container commands based on environment
container_commands:
# check for environemt within command to use leader flag
01_portfolio_update_cron_job:
command: 'if [ "$SYMFONY_ENV" != "staging" ]; then cat .ebextensions/cronjobs/portfolio_cron_job.txt > /etc/cron.d/portfolio_cron_job && chmod 644 /etc/cron.d/portfolio_cron_job; else echo "dont include portfolio cron";fi'
leader_only: true
# command should run on all instances, we can use the test command for environment check
02_synch_cron_job:
command: cat .ebextensions/cronjobs/synch_cron.txt > /etc/cron.d/synch_cron && chmod 644 /etc/cron.d/synch_cron
test: '[ "$SYMFONY_ENV" == "develop" ]'

Since AWS Elastic Beanstalk does not provide different .ebextension scripts based on environment I'm using a little workaround to solve this.

TODO:

  • You need to declare an environment variable in your AWS EB application. (in my case SYMFONY_ENV)
  • now you can read this variable in your deployment scripts

pay attention:

  • You can not use the leader flag with the test command together. The test flag will overwrite the leader boolean.
