com.amazonaws.services.elasticbeanstalk.model.TooManyApplicationVersionsException while deploying code from Jenkins to elastic beanstalk

Question

I am trying to deploy java webapp to elastic beanstalk. The build setup is configured in jenkins which automatically builds the code from git repository. There is a current environment running on elatic benastalk and I am trying to deploy the changes to same environmment. Any help would be appreciated.

There are 04 options

#1 Manually deletetion

Delete the versions manually in the aws web console

#2 Configure auto deletion manually

Click on settings

Configure the version lifecycle

Official source: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/applications-lifecycle.html

#3 Configure auto deletion using CLI

AWS_ACCOUNT=$(aws sts get-caller-identity | jq -r '.Account')

SERVICE_ROLE=arn:aws:iam::${AWS_ACCOUNT}:role/aws-elasticbeanstalk-service-role

aws elasticbeanstalk update-application-resource-lifecycle \
--application-name <<parameters.eb_app_name>> \
--resource-lifecycle-config "ServiceRole=${SERVICE_ROLE},VersionLifecycleConfig={MaxCountRule={Enabled=true,MaxCount=10,DeleteSourceFromS3=true}}"
