Fastest way to create an EC2 machine with Amazon provided SSL certificates (?)
Raw
gistfile1.txt
Since you can only use ACM provided certificates from (A/N/E)LB or CloudFormation, I think this
could be the easiest way (using ALB).
- (EC2) Create a security group that only accepts HTTPS
- (EC2) Create a security group that only accepts HTTP connection from the security group above
- (EC2) Create the EC2 instance and bind it to the the security group above
- (EC2) Create a Target Group and use the above EC2 as the target inside it
- (ACM) Create the SSL certificate in ACM (hint: you can create it directly from Route53)
- (EC2) Create an Application Load Balancer in the same EC2's AZs using the above target group and the SSL certificate
- (Route53) Edit your DNS zone to add the LB A record (use its Alias and autocomplete)
