Currently, Amazon CloudFront supports HTTP/3, but Application Load Balancer (ALB) does not have HTTP/3 support based on the available information.

CloudFront fully supports HTTP/3 in all of its edge locations at no additional cost. HTTP/3 uses QUIC, a user datagram protocol-based transport protocol that improves upon TCP, TLS, and HTTP/2 capabilities. It helps eliminate head-of-line blocking, supports client-connection migration for smoother transitions between networks, and provides enhanced security with default TLS encryption.

For ALB, the current protocol support includes:

  • HTTP/1.1 support by default
  • HTTP/2 support when using HTTPS listeners
  • End-to-end HTTP/2 support for gRPC workloads

When you configure an HTTPS listener on an ALB, it automatically supports both HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 on the client-facing side, negotiating the appropriate protocol with each client based on their capabilities.

There is no specific information available about when HTTP/3 support might be added to ALB or if it's in the current roadmap.
