aws_cloudfront_ssl_setup

# from the directory where the key/certs are located
aws iam upload-server-certificate \
  --server-certificate-name a-new-cert-name \
  --certificate-body file://your-site.crt \
  --private-key file://your-site.key \
  --certificate-chain file://your-site-intermediates.crt \
  --path /cloudfront/your-path/
# where a-new-cert-name is an arbitrary name you give your cert for AWS
# your-site-intermediates.crt is your [certname].chain.crt (may need to include [certname].chained.crt)
# your-path is an arbitrary name you give (best if it's the same as the server-certificate-name)

# you'll need to go to your CloudFront distribution settings and select teh SSL cert you just created
# additionally, go to Behaviors tab and select 'Redirect HTTP to HTTPS'
# set the Origins Protocol Behavior to HTTP only

# you don't need multiple EC2 instances to create and run an ELB

openssl rsa -in yourdomain.key -outform PEM
openssl x509 -inform PEM -in yourdomain.crt (OR bundle.crt)
