I'm trying to prevent my static files from being included in the source bundle uploaded with elasticbeanstalk. I'm not sure where exactly my .ebignore file belongs.

Main_Direction
 /.ebextension
 /.elasticbeanstalk
 /Actual_Project
   //....

I put the .ebignore file in the Actual_Project directory. However, this doesn't seem to work because I'm getting the following error.

ERROR: Application version cannot be any larger than 512MB

My .ebignore file is very simple:

static/*

I've also tried static without the asterix and trailing slash.

I'm using: EB CLI 3.6.2 (Python 3.4.3)

seems like your directory structure is a bit off. the beanstalk files belong in the root directory of your project, which in your case is Actual_Project. Move them there. As a side note, I use .gitignore instead of .ebignore, as beanstalk will use it if .ebignore is missing. It too belongs to the root dir (right next to the .git folder)

In my case, I forgot to add the .git entry to the .ebignore file. After adding it, I was able to upload the app archive.
