com.amazonaws.services.elasticbeanstalk.model.TooManyApplicationVersionsException while deploying code from Jenkins to elastic beanstalk

Question

I am trying to deploy java webapp to elastic beanstalk. The build setup is configured in jenkins which automatically builds the code from git repository. There is a current environment running on elatic benastalk and I am trying to deploy the changes to same environmment. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Based on TooManyApplicationVersionsException You cannot have more than 1000 Application Versions

You need to remove some old application versions from Elastic beanstalk. You can do it as described here

Answer 2

You need to remove previous versions - you can't go forever. See the "Deleting Previous Versions" on this page. Based on the docs it looks like you'll want to run

mvn beanstalk:clean-previous-versions -Dbeanstalk.daysToKeep=1 

if you want to remove by day or

mvn beanstalk:clean-previous-versions -Dbeanstalk.versionsToKeep=1 

if you want to remove by versions. This should be early in your build pipeline to clean up old versions.
