HTTPS with Elastic Beanstalk Subdomain?

Question

I have been using Heroku and they provide SSL for their herokuapp.com subdomains.

Is it possible to have HTTPS with EB's subdomains?

Answer 1

Sadly, you can't add ssl directly into the domain owned by AWS, such as default domains for EB environments.

However, you can a CloudFront (CF) distribution to front your EB. The CF provides SSL certificates and HTTPs:

• Using Elastic Beanstalk with Amazon CloudFront

The alternative is to use your own domain. Then you can use HTTPs listener on your load balancer in the EB environment. The easiest way to achieve that would be through Route53 and ACM:

• Routing traffic to an AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment
• Configuring HTTPS for your Elastic Beanstalk environment
