The AWS Documentation mentions.

When you use the AWS Elastic Beanstalk console to deploy a new application or an application version, you'll need to upload a source bundle.

Not exceed 512 MB.

Not include a parent folder or top-level directory (subdirectories are fine)

Elastic Beanstalk is a fully managed AWS service that makes it easy to deploy and run web applications. Elastic Beanstalk handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and monitoring of the application.

When deploying applications to Elastic Beanstalk, the following statements are true except for one:

A. The application can be bundled in a zip file This statement is true. Elastic Beanstalk supports the deployment of web applications in zip format. The zip file should contain the application code, any dependencies, and a configuration file. Elastic Beanstalk also supports deploying web applications in other formats such as tar, tar.gz, and war.

B. Can include parent directories This statement is true. When bundling the application in a zip file, the file can include parent directories to help organize the files.

C. Should not exceed 512 MB in size This statement is false. Elastic Beanstalk supports the deployment of web applications in zip format, and the maximum size of the zip file depends on the AWS region you are using. For example, in the US East (N. Virginia) region, the maximum size of the zip file is 1.5 GB. It is important to note that the larger the deployment package, the longer the deployment time.

D. Can be a war file which can be deployed to the application server. This statement is true. Elastic Beanstalk also supports deploying web applications in war format. A war file is a standard format used for deploying Java web applications. When deploying a war file, Elastic Beanstalk deploys it to the application server and configures the environment to run the application.

In summary, the false statement with regards to application deployment in Elastic Beanstalk is C. The zip file can exceed 512 MB, depending on the AWS region.
