Managed platform updates perform immutable environment updates. These automatic updates promote your Elastic Beanstalk environment to a new platform version. Immutable updates update your application environment without taking any EC2 instances out of service or modifying your environment. In an immutable platform update, the EB service deploys as many instances as are currently running with the new platform version. The new EC2 instances begin to take requests alongside those running the old version and if the new set of instances passes all health checks, AWS EB shuts down (terminates) the old set of instances, leaving only the instances with the new configuration.
