HTTPS on Elastic Beanstalk without load balancer

0

I have an Elastic Beanstalk environment for test only, so I don't need an ELB on it. Is it still possible to use https?

hi,

Yes. You can. But using HTTPS with ALB provides an additional security layer and would be best to use it. But you can bypass ALB through the steps below,

  1. Get a SSL/TLS cert via ACM
  2. Configure the Elastic Beanstalk environment: Update the environment to use HTTPS by specifying the SSL certificate and port in the environment's configuration file. You will also need to specify the SSL port that your application listens to in your application code.
  3. Configure the Security Group: Open the SSL port you specified in step 2 in the environment's security group.
  4. Modify DNS settings: If you are using a custom domain, update the DNS settings to point to the HTTPS endpoint of the Elastic Beanstalk environment.
