title: AWS EBS Java Options update
body: <p>How can I update default <strong>JVM options</strong> for AWS ElasticBeanstalk application (Spring Boot app)?</p>
  <p>I have tried doing it with .ebextensions folder, however &quot;JVM Options&quot; parameter is &quot;unrecognised&quot; by the platform.</p>
  <p>Another attempt I have tried was to use Configuration section and specify <strong>Xmx</strong> and <strong>Xmx</strong> (as well as <strong>JVM Options</strong> and <strong>JAVA_OPTS</strong>) there, but running application experiences no difference (have embedded some stat printing out at the start of the app).</p>
  <p>In short - neither Configuration nor .ebextensions folder embedded in the WAR makes no difference to EBS runtime and hence to my app.</p>
  <p>Looks like I have searched whole the web for the answer, but none of advised works and they all looks like either obsolete or not working.</p>
  <p>AWS documentation is not clear in this regard as well.</p>
