You need to do the following (obviously catering for your requirements):

In the root on your packaged software create a folder called .ebextensions

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root     4096 Sep 30 13:39 .
dr-xr-x--- 7 root root     4096 Nov  4 15:22 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     4096 Nov  4 15:22 .ebextensions

In the .ebextensions folder create two files called 02_files.config and 03_container_commands.config

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11334 Jul 25 12:26 02_files.config
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   960 Nov  4 11:22 03_container_commands.config

The contents of 02_files.config should contain the contents of your shell script:

files:

  "/path/to/your/shellscript/myscript.sh" :
    mode: "000755"
    owner: root
    group: root
    content: |
      #!/bin/sh
      echo "Hello World!" >> /var/log/myscript.out

The contents of 03_container_commands.config should contain the command to run your shell script:

container_commands:

  01_runmyshellscript:
    command: "/path/to/your/shellscript/myscript.sh"

Now when you upload your code it will create your shell script in /path/to/your/shellscript/myscript.sh and then execute it sending Hello World! to /var/log/myscript.out
