How do you pass custom environment variable on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk (AWS EBS)?

by

As a heads up to anyone who uses the .ebextensions/*.config way: nowadays you can add, edit and remove environment variables in the Elastic Beanstalk web interface.

The variables are under Configuration → Software Configuration:

Environment Properties

Creating the vars in .ebextensions like in Onema’s answer still works.

It can even be preferable, e.g. if you will deploy to another environment later and are afraid of forgetting to manually set them, or if you are ok with committing the values to source control. I use a mix of both.
