I have a subdomain in Amazon Route53. Let's say secure.example.com
If requests come like https://secure.example.com it is ok but I would like to force http requests to come through https. When user types http://secure.example.com it needs to be forwarded to https://secure.example.com.
Is there a domain level redirecting/forwarding requests coming through http to https in Amazon Route53?

Select a load balancer, and then choose HTTP Listener. Under Rules, choose View/edit rules. Choose Edit Rule to modify the existing default rule to redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS.
Classic Load Balancers can't redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS by default. Instead, configure your rewrite rules for the web servers instances behind the Classic Load Balancer. You must configure your rewrite rules to use the X-Forwarded-Proto header and redirect only HTTP clients.
Just a quick update for this question. Whilst in answer to your question no, you can't use route 53 to force HTTPS, this would lead some people to believe that forcing https on AWS hosting wasn't possible.
You can create a SSL certificate in Certificate Manager(or import your own), host your website where ever(S3/EC2), you then need to setup a CloudFront distribution for your site and import your SSL certificate, you can then use the option Redirect HTTP to HTTPS via the behavior tab in the CloudFront console.
