I might be a little late with the response here, but I've discovered another, less intrusive way to configure nginx on Elastic Beanstalk. You can specify configuration files for nginx directly by creating an .ebextensions/nginx/conf.d directory. Any config files found inside are automatically copied to your /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory during the EB deployment. This seems to be a more robust solution.

Documentation available here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/java-se-nginx.html

EDIT: As pointed out in comments, Elastic Beanstalk has inconsistent implementations between platforms. The documentation here is for Java SE, and it appears this documentation is not relevant for all platforms.
