Description

The Delete Elastic Beanstalk Application Versions action can be used to delete multiple versions from multiple Elastic Beanstalk Applications based on specific criteria. Possible criteria includes the application name, version name, or creation date.

For example, it can be used to:

  • delete all versions

  • delete all versions older than 7 days

  • delete only versions that contain "test" in it's name.

Test Mode

This action includes a "test mode" as a way of determining which versions will be deleted without actually deleting the versions. This way, you can fine tune your action without concern for deleting the wrong versions. Test Mode is on by default.

When test mode is enabled, execute your action normally then check the action logs to verify that only versions that should have been deleted would have been deleted, and that versions that should not have been deleted would not have been deleted.

When you are satisfied, disable Test Mode.
