Hi Haseeb!
Great article, is there also a way on how to provide the certificates directly to the instance, without using s3? How can i allow this specific instance and nobody else to access the certificate files? Thanks in advance!

You don't have to use S3, all you need to do is use the files that Let's Encrypt creates. It doesn't matter where you put them. In fact, you can put them on the server you are using and give the path to the file .elasticbeanstalk config file.

I have been looking for a way to automate this process further so we don't have to renew the domain every 90 days. Take a look at this post if you are interested
