eb status
eb status <env-name>
```

## Environment Health (AWS CLI)

Detailed health via AWS CLI (requires enhanced health reporting):
```bash
aws elasticbeanstalk describe-environment-health \
  --environment-name <env-name> \
  --attribute-names All --output json
```

Per-instance health:
```bash
aws elasticbeanstalk describe-instances-health \
  --environment-name <env-name> \
  --attribute-names All --output json
```

## Provisioned Resources
