More flexible application_name

[antgel]

Tell us about your request

It would be very useful if it was possible to set application_name as a flag of eb deploy. e.g. eb deploy --application-name my-app-staging-us-east-1

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve.

We sometimes want to deploy a given branch to more than one application in a region e.g. my-app-staging-us-east-1 and my-app-funfunfun-us-east-1. Currently we have to edit config.yml every time, which doesn't lead itself well to scripting.

Are you currently working around this issue?

Yes. I wrote a shell script which takes environment as a parameter, generates config.yml, and runs eb deploy.

@Palakpatel67 Thanks! Is there any timeframe for looking at it? I'm not familiar with how the project works.

@antgel may I ask you to share your shell script if possible? I am going to need something similar in my project as well. Thanks!
