Answer 1

Other ways to set environment variables in elastic beanstalk are -

1. Create a config file in .ebextensions directory like environmentalvar.config and define variables in option_settings and include this file into application bundle. (Aws Documentation)

   example -

   option_settings:
        aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment:
          NODE_ENV: production
   

2. By using elastic beanstalk command line tool. Command for set variable-

   eb setenv VAR_NAME=VAR_VALUE
