Setting up HTTPS for an AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) involves configuring an HTTPS listener, deploying an SSL certificate, and defining security policies. Here's a high-level overview:
1. **Create an HTTPS Listener**:
- Open the **Amazon EC2 console**.
- Navigate to **Load Balancers** and select your ALB.
- Under **Listeners and rules**, choose **Add listener**.
- Set **Protocol** to **HTTPS** and specify the port (default is 443).
2. **Deploy an SSL Certificate**:
- Use **AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)** to request or import an SSL certificate.
- Assign the certificate to your ALB.
3. **Define Security Policies**:
- Choose a security policy for SSL negotiation.
- Ensure compatibility with your application's requirements.
4. **Configure Routing**:
- Forward traffic to target groups.
- Optionally enable authentication using **Amazon Cognito** or **OpenID**.
