Thanks for posting this. If I want to use this with multiple apps all running in the same region, does it stand to reason that modifying the BUCKET would be the right way to support that?

e.g.

BUCKET="elasticbeanstalk-PUT_YOUR_REGION-PUT_YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID-APP_NAME"

Also, I assume I can reference my app's env vars during 02a_set_cache.sh?

Thanks again!
