Answer 1

So I figured out a way to make it work:

Put this in .ebextensions:

commands:
  01_enable_rootaccess:
    command: echo Defaults:root \!requiretty >> /etc/sudoers
  02_no-cert:
    command: sudo /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-v0.10.10-linux-x64/bin/npm config set ca ""

Worked like a charm in my case.
