Laravel 5 session never persisted in AWS

I'm trying to deploy a Laravel app on AWS using OpsWorks and an Ubuntu machine. What ever driver I choose the session will not be persited while in my local environment everything was working perfectly.

My initial setup was using a custom ElastiCache driver to handle sessions (http://ift.tt/1TZnX6s) but even if I choose file driver or cookie driver or database, it will never store my session.
