Answer 1

A cleaner approach (if you're using the Java or Go platform on Elastic Beanstalk) is to have nginx .conf files with your wished changes in a subfolder in .ebextensions:

You can now place an nginx.conf file in the .ebextensions/nginx folder to override the Nginx configuration. You can also place configuration files in the .ebextensions/nginx/conf.d folder in order to have them included in the Nginx configuration provided by the platform.
