AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment variables in ASP.NET Core 1.0

by

I just implemented a slightly other solution which injects the beanstalk environment variables to the program so that you may access them by Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable():

private static void SetEbConfig()
{
    var tempConfigBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder();

    tempConfigBuilder.AddJsonFile(
        @"C:\Program Files\Amazon\ElasticBeanstalk\config\containerconfiguration",
        optional: true,
        reloadOnChange: true
    );

    var configuration = tempConfigBuilder.Build();

    var ebEnv =
        configuration.GetSection("iis:env")
            .GetChildren()
            .Select(pair => pair.Value.Split(new[] { '=' }, 2))
            .ToDictionary(keypair => keypair[0], keypair => keypair[1]);

    foreach (var keyVal in ebEnv)
    {
        Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable(keyVal.Key, keyVal.Value);
    }
}

Simply call SetEbConfig(); before building your webhost. With this solution, also AWS SDK does read it’s settings like AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID correctly.
