AWS elasticbeanstalk documentation change

Service: elasticbeanstalk · 2025-11-07 · Documentation medium

File: elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/https-singleinstance-python.md

Summary

Updated mod_ssl package name, file paths, and added note for Amazon Linux 2023

Security assessment

Package name correction (mod24_ssl → mod_ssl) and path updates reflect environment changes. Added note about mod_wsgi installation addresses dependency management, not a direct security fix.
