Migrating from Amazon Linux to Amazon Linux 2 with Elastic Beanstalk and Node.js

This file is a log of everything I've encountered when trying to migrate a Node.js, Elastic Beanstalk application from the Amazon Linux platform to the Amazon Liunx 2 platform. Here's why you should migrate:

  1. LTS support up to 2023 source
  2. The Amazon Linux AMI's end-of-life is December, 2020 source
  3. Amazon Linux 2 has some big package upgrades (GCC, Glibc, etc.)
  4. Elastic Beanstalk also has some upgrades on top of Amazon Linux 2 (e.g. faster deploys)

Challenges

Disabling NPM install
