How to specify sensitive environment variables at deploy time with Elastic Beanstalk

Question

I am deploying a Python Flask application with Elastic Beanstalk. I have a config file /.ebextensions/01.config where among other things I set some environment

Answer 1

I have been using another shell script, something ./deploy_production.sh to set environment specific variables. In the shell script, you can use "eb setenv NAME1=VAR1 NAME2=VAR2 ..." to set env var.

And this file doesn't need to go into git repo.
