AWS Elastic Beanstalk config for signed SSL certificate using a single instance with Lets Encrypt certbot and apache.

https-instance.config

# This will setup a hardened SSL/TLS for an Elastic Beanstalk application configured to use a single EC2 instance using Apache
# This configuration should get you an A on the Qualys SSL Server Test.

# This configuration will continue to serve unsecure requests on port 80.

# Be sure to verify you are using the latest version of your platform in Elastic Beanstalk.

# The following Environment Properties are *required* to be set:
# CERT_EMAIL - this is the email address passed to certbot-auto
# SERVER_DOMAIN - the DNS name that will be assoicated with the certificate (ex: domain.com)
# SERVER_ALIAS - an alternate DNS name that will also be assoicated with the certificate (ex: www.domain.com)

# Optionally you can set:
# CERT_BOT_ADDITIONAL_FLAGS - any addtional flags to cert bot (ex. if you are testing, set this to --staging)

# This will also setup your certificate to auto-check renewal twice a day.

# This configuration does not setup certificate backup. If you are terminating your application servers multiple times a week, 
# you should backup and restore your SSL cert and key to prevent running into any Lets Encrypt rate limits. Normally,
# Elastic Beanstalk application deploys don't terminate the server so this may not be required for your setup.

# What this does
# 1. Modifies the instance's security group to allow incomming connections on port 443.
# 2. Installs the Apache module mod_ssl (this creates /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf, a certificate, and a key)
# 3. Overwrites ssl.conf with options to harden SSL/TLS against known vulnerabilities
# 4. Downloads certbot-auto
# 5. Adds your ServerName and ServerAlias to ssl.conf so that certbot knows which VirtualHosts to modify
# 6. Runs certbot-auto to get and install your certificate if there is not one already installed
# 7. Sets up a cron to renew certs if necessary.
