The primary objective of this tutorial is to provide a thorough and insightful guide for streamlining the process of testing and deploying a web application from version control (specifically, GitHub) to a web application management environment called “Elastic Beanstalk” using a continuous integration and delivery pipeline in Amazon Web Services (AWS).

By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you will acquire significant insights and practical knowledge on how to proficiently automate the process of integrating the source code, building tests and deploying the web application by leveraging the powerful capabilities of AWS.

We will be using the below technologies for this:-

1. GitHub — GitHub is a web-based platform that provides version control using Git and hosting for software development, enabling collaboration, code sharing, and revision tracking.
2. AWS Elastic Beanstalk — AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a service that automatically handles the deployment, provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and application health monitoring of web applications
