• Get a free ssl certificate on sslforfree.com and follow the instructions to download the sslforfree.zip file on a location on your computer.
• Upload the sslforfree.zip file from your computer in the AWS IDE on the root of the workspace.
• Copy and extract the zip file on the ssl directory by running this command:

   sudo unzip /etc/apache2/ssl/sslforfree.zip
   sudo rm /home/ubuntu/environment/sslforfree.zip /etc/apache2/ssl/sslforfree.zip

• Now you can open the website on https without any issues.

Keep in mind that the sslforfree.com provides ssl certificate for 3 months and you have to update the certificate in order to use it for longer.
