How to replace elastic beanstalk instance with new EB environment?

I've currently created a new AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment and I want to figure out how to replace the old EB environment currently setup.

I can't seem to find any reference in Route 53 to the instance which points to the xxx-oldinstance.elasticbeanstalk.com. I even checked to see if it using the IPv4 DNS as mentioned on some docs but nothing is relating to the older instance.

What do I do in order to replace my older instance with this new instance I have created?

    Thanks to this:

    you deploy the new version to a separate environment, and then swap CNAMEs of the two environments to redirect traffic to the new version instantly.
