You’re a developer at a company that needs to deploy an application using Elastic Beanstalk. There is a requirement to place a healthcheck.config file for the environment. In which of the following location should this config file be placed to ensure that it is part of the elastic beanstalk environment?

Answer options:

A.In the application root folder
B.In the config folder
C.In the packages folder
D.In the .ebextensions folder

Answer – D
The AWS Documentation mentions the following.
Elastic Beanstalk supports two methods of saving configuration option settings. Configuration files in YAML or JSON format can be included in your application`s source code in a directory named .ebextensions and deployed as part of your application source bundle. You create and manage configuration files locally.
All other options are incorrect because the AWS documentation specifically mentions that you need to place custom configuration files in the .ebextensions folder.
