Damn that is so weird!

The formula for connections is `worker_processes * worker_connections` which should be `12 * 768`, which would be (click clack) 9216. But your logs say 1768…

Try this on your app.yml:

```plaintext
## Any custom commands to run after building
run:
  - exec: echo "Beginning of custom commands"

  - replace:
      filename: "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf"
      from: "worker_connections 768" 
      to: "worker_connections 2000"
  - replace:
      filename: "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf"
      from: "worker_processes auto" 
      to: "worker_processes 10"

```

Be aware that your block on post 2 is acting on the wrong file!
