How to create an HTTPS certificate for localhost domains

This focuses on generating the certificates for loading local virtual hosts hosted on your computer, for development only.

Do not use self-signed certificates in production ! For online certificates, use Let's Encrypt instead (tutorial).

    # Usage:
    #   aws cloudformation --region <region> create-stack --stack-name <stack name> --template-body file://vpc-fargate.yaml
    
    # This template will:
    #   Create a VPC with:
    #       2 Public Subnets
    #       2 Private Subnets
    #   An Internet Gateway (with routes to it for Public Subnets)
    #   A NAT Gateway for outbound access (with routes from Private Subnets set to use it)
    #

######## Generate a self-signed SSL certificate
keytool -genkeypair -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore keystore.jks -validity 3650
keytool -genkeypair -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -storetype PKCS12 -keystore keystore.p12 -validity 3650 #PKCS12

keytool -list -v -keystore keystore.jks
keytool -list -v -storetype pkcs12 -keystore keystore.p12 #PKCS12


######### Use an existing SSL certificate
