In Chapter 4, Creating an Application from Scratch, we showed examples of how to use af push to create an application and the af delete command to delete an application.
To update the new version of the application you use the af update command. There are two ways to update your application. First is from within the application directory, where you can use the af update command directly. If you are in a different directory, you can use the --path option to point to your directory. When using the path attribute, it works best if you use the full path to your application directory. The following are examples of each usage:
$ af update insideaf4 Uploading Application: Checking for available resources: OK Packing application: OK Uploading (1K): OK Push Status: OK Stopping Application 'insideaf4': OK Staging Application 'insideaf4': OK Starting Application 'insideaf4': OK $ af update insideaf4 --path /code/insideaf4 Uploading Application: Checking for available resources: OK Packing application: OK Uploading (1K): OK Push Status: OK Stopping Application 'insideaf4': OK Staging Application 'insideaf4': OK Starting Application 'insideaf4': OK
To make a copy of an existing application, you can use the af clone command. If you do not pass a specific infrastructure to the command, you will be prompted for it. To get a list of available infrastructures, use the af infras command.
$ af clone insideaf4 insideaf5 1: AWS US East - Virginia 2: AWS EU West - Ireland 3: AWS Asia SE - Singapore 4: HP AZ 2 - Las Vegas Select Infrastructure: 1 Application Deployed URL [insideaf5.aws.af.cm]: Pulling last pushed source code: OK Cloning 'insideaf4' to 'insideaf5': Uploading Application: Checking for available resources: OK Packing application: OK Uploading (1K): OK Push Status: OK Staging Application 'insideaf5': OK Starting Application 'insideaf5': OK $ af clone insideaf4 insideaf6 aws Application Deployed URL [insideaf6.aws.af.cm]: Pulling last pushed source code: OK Cloning 'insideaf4' to 'insideaf6': Uploading Application: Checking for available resources: OK Packing application: OK Uploading (1K): OK Push Status: OK Staging Application 'insideaf6': OK Starting Application 'insideaf6': OK
