**To create a new application** The following command creates a new application named "MyApp":: aws elasticbeanstalk create-application --application-name MyApp --description "my application" The ``create-application`` command only configures the application's name and description. To upload source code for the application, create an initial version of the application using ``create-application-version``. ``create-application-version`` also has an ``auto-create-application`` option that lets you create the application and the application version in one step. Output:: { "Application": { "ApplicationName": "MyApp", "ConfigurationTemplates": [], "DateUpdated": "2015-02-12T18:32:21.181Z", "Description": "my application", "DateCreated": "2015-02-12T18:32:21.181Z" } }
