How to support multiple production ALB listeners with CodeDeploy Blue/Green deployments

Question

Hi there,

I have a service *(a simple NextJS website)* deployed in ECS behind an ALB. The ALB routes both HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) traffic to the tasks. This model works well when a single production listener is defined in the CodeDeploy Application Deployment Group definition, but I was wondering if there was a way of supporting more than one listener in the Application Deployment Group definition.

For now, I've set the second listener *(Port 80)* as the test listener port, and this works, but it does seem like a bit of a hack.

Appreciate any answers.

Kind regards

Erich

Answer

I managed to resolve this by adding a default redirect rule on the ALB to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS. This brings me back to a single production listener from the deployment perspective. That said, I'd still be interested in alternative solutions for my own knowledge development.
