I have a nodejs aws beanstalk environment which is currently using a elb load balancer configured with an ssl certificate for https request. I am trying to redirect http to https but this can only be done with an alb balancer. When creating this alb balancer I cannot attach my beanstalk instance to this alb but only to the previous elb attached to it? why?
To attach your Elastic BeanStalk instance to Application Load Balancer you need to update configurations from Elastic BeanStalk environment.
Below are the steps to update the Elastic BeanStalk environment:
Go to your Elastic Beanstalk environment.
On the left-hand side select "Configuration" option.
Select "Load Balancer" and choose Application Load Balancer, make sure in "Capacity" your "Environment type: Load Balancing, Auto-Scaling".
Under the Application Load Balancer, choose option Add Listener, after that provide Port, Protocol, and SSL certificate and make it enabled. So you will redirect your requests http to https.
Note: To provide an SSL certificate, you need to upload certificate contents in the ACM(AWS Certificate Manager).
Apply the configuration and you will observe that your instance gets added to your new Application Load Balancer deployed through Elastic BeanStalk environment.

I have a Vert.x server running on a single-instance Elastic Beanstalk server, and I'm trying to configure it to operate over HTTPS. I've set up the NS records and A record in AWS Route 53 to map the subdomain to my instance (pinging the subdomain succeeds), requested (and verified) the certificate from ACM, and opened up port 443 in my EC2 security group. But I can't quite figure out how to "attach" the certificate to my domain (if that's somehow necessary) or to get port 443 properly mapped to my Vert.x server.
Any tips will be appreciated.
to get port 443 properly mapped to my Vert.x server.
If you use ACM for the SSL certificate, you have to setup application load balancer. The process is detailed in:
How can I configure HTTPS for my Elastic Beanstalk environment?
To enable load balancer for your EB environment, you have to change EB environment type to Load-balanced if you already don't have that.
With the load balancer, you don't have to modify your application at all, as HTTPS will be fully handled by the load balancer.
I have configured the AWS load balancer to secure my website, i.e. to resolve through "https". But when I use(https://www.schoolnskill.com), it gives
503 Service Temporarily Unavailable.
So I have followed the below steps to configure my environment.
I created a domain name in route53 and have been issued with a SSL/TLS certificate through AWS Certificate manager.
For my load balancer I set up listener for https:443 and attached the above certificate with it.
The security group for my ec2 instances allow http and https requests (although I believe the load balancer ec2 target will communicate using http).
I have attached a screenshot with the summary of the configuration.
Then in the ROUTE 53, I edited the 'A' record of 'www.schoolnskill.com'. Below are the changes I made.
Alias:- yes
Alias target:- chosen the application LB
Routing policy:- simple
Then save the settings.
I can see that whenever I type 'http://www.schoolnskill.com', it is redirected as 'https://www.schoolnskill.com'

Thank you,
The problem was the availability zones. The AZ of my load balancer was different from that of EC2 instance. I matched the AZ of ALB to my EC2, and it worked.
Thank you,
I have 2 EC2 nodes behind a load balancer.
I need to setup SSL certificate for use with Amazon Web Services.
Does each server behind a load balancer need their own SSL certificate?
Or only the load balancer need the SSL certificate?
You can associate the SSL certificate with the load balancer, and then use either normal HTTP between the Load Balancer and the server, or another form of authentication that is less resource-intensive than SSL.

Im trying to enable https on my Elastic Beanstalk application and it looks like I need to have a Load Balancer.
In my EB settings, I do have a autos calling balancer
In the docs show a different page on how to create a load balancer
This configuration setting doesn't show up anymore in the elastic beanstalk settings.
I've also looked into creating a load balancer from the EC2 instance page, and attached this load balancer to my EB, created a security group that supports http and https and haven't been able to get it to work
SO my question is, what is the correct way to enable https
Attached is our beanstalk configuration console, you should be able to turn on secure listener port as well.
Check with Section "To turn on the secure listener port" in AWS doc reference
I have created a single instance web application on AWS with Elastic Beanstalk. Now I want to add ssl certificate to enable https access on it.
I created a ssl certificate using ACM and I was folowing this! link to add it to my web app in Elastic Beanstalk.
But I could not find and anywhere in acm.
How can i find them??
You can only use ACM with CloudFront or Elastic Load Balancers. Since you don't have an Elastic Load Balancer in a single instance Elastic Beanstalk environment, you can't use ACM, unless you want to put CloudFront in front of it.
