Configuring the Reverse Proxy
Elastic Beanstalk uses nginx as the reverse proxy to map your application to your
load balancer on port 80. If you want to provide your own nginx configuration,
you can override the default configuration provided by Elastic Beanstalk by including
the .ebextensions/nginx/nginx.conf file in your source
bundle. If this file is present, Elastic Beanstalk uses it in place of the default
nginx configuration file.
If you want to include directives in addition to those in the nginx.conf
http block, you can also provide additional configuration files in the .ebextensions/nginx/conf.d/ directory of your
source bundle. All files in this directory must have the .conf extension.
To take advantage of functionality provided by Elastic Beanstalk, such as Enhanced Health Reporting and Monitoring, automatic application
mappings, and static files, you must include the following line in the server block of your nginx configuration file:
include conf.d/elasticbeanstalk/*.conf;
