HTTPS for Single-Instance Python 3.7 AWS Elastic Beanstalk Environment without Custom Domain or Load Balancer

This post describes how to setup HTTPS using a self-signed certificate for a Python 3.7 webapp deployed to a single-instance AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment without using a custom domain or a load balancer. This is useful in dev/test scenarios where HTTPS is required.

ZIP & upload the code to Beanstalk, open the Beanstalk app URL with https:// prefix & bypass the browser warning about the self-signed certificate to see the app!
