If you create a new elastic beanstalk instance using eb and don't see it show up in your management console you should check that you correctly set you public and secret keys in ~/.aws/credentials.

Also check for environment variables that may be overriding your default credentials ~$ echo $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID && echo $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
