How do I go about uploading images in an AWS Elastic Beanstalk Wordpress Application?

I am using the high-availability method from this tutorial.

It's a large WooCommerce website and I have 2gigs worth of product images that would usually be stored in the wp-content/uploads folder. There is a max upload file size on an elastic beanstalk instance version, so I'm assuming I will have to upload the images via FTP.

I now know that I have an S3 bucket linked with my EB instance that stores all of my files in the background. In the S3 management console, I can see my zip files of the current instance version, but how to I add to it? I'm totally new to this, but is the S3 bucket what I have to FTP into in order to upload these images? If so, how do I go about doing this?

The easiest way to do this is to download the application add your photos on the correct directory and upload and deploy

1. First, download the latest version zip file

  • Elastic Beanstalk Beanstalk - Application Versions
  • Click on the source code link to download

2. Unzip the files

  • copy the photos on the correct folder.

3. Zip and Upload

  • Compress the files make sure to select all files from the unzip folder - Don't compress the folder itselft
  • Under Application versions click upload and select your new zip file make sure to type a version label

4. Deploy

  • Use the checkbox to select the uploaded version and click deploy
  • Give it a few minutes while it uploads and sets up the new version.
