        group: root
        content: |
            proxy_connect_timeout       3600;
            proxy_send_timeout          3600;
            proxy_read_timeout          3600;
            send_timeout                3600;
commands:
    "00nginx-create-proxy-timeout":
        command: "if [[ ! -h /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/elasticbeanstalk-nginx-docker-proxy-timeout.conf ]] ; then ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/elasticbeanstalk-nginx-docker-proxy-timeout.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/elasticbeanstalk-nginx-docker-proxy-timeout.conf ; fi"
