elasticbeanstalk Source bundle is empty or exceeds maximum allowed size: 524288000

Hello,

This appears to be a common issue with customers that use AWS BeanStalk. Per the BeanStalk documentation (https://docs.amazonaws.cn/en_us/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/applications-sourcebundle.html), the source bundle must:

• Consist of a single ZIP file or WAR file (you can include multiple WAR files inside your ZIP file)
• Not exceed 512 MB
• Not include a parent folder or top-level directory (subdirectories are fine)

Some sites that I visited recommending trying to reduce the ZIP file size below 500 MB. This may be what is causing your issue, even though the docs say the limit is 512 MB.

With that said, be sure to check that your WAR files are at the top level of your Zip file when compressing it. Additionally, make sure the the zip file does not contain a parent folder.
