Introduction<\/h1>\n

Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides secure communication over the Internet. To enable encryption of data in transit, HTTPS protocol uses TLS. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) is a load balancing tool for web applications hosted on Amazon Web Services. We can configure HTTPS in ELB to provide an encrypted communication channel between users and the web application.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/h1>\n

This tutorial assumes that you have the following prerequisites:
\n– AWS account
\n– Basic knowledge of the AWS management console
\n– A web application running on one or more EC2 instances<\/p>\n

Steps to set up HTTPS listener in Elastic Load Balancer (ELB)<\/h1>\n

In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up a secure HTTPS listener in ELB to protect your web application’s traffic. Follow the below-mentioned steps:<\/p>\n

Step 1: Create a Load Balancer<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Log in to your AWS Console.<\/li>\n
  2. Navigate to the EC2 Console.<\/li>\n
  3. In the navigation pane, click “Load Balancers.”<\/li>\n
  4. Click the “Create Load Balancer” button.<\/li>\n
  5. Choose “Application Load Balancer” from the options.<\/li>\n
  6. Give it a name, and choose the VPC where your EC2 instances are running.<\/li>\n
  7. Add one or more listeners for your application.<\/li>\n
  8. Click the “Next” button to proceed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Step 2: Configure Listeners<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Choose “HTTPS” as the protocol for your listener. <\/li>\n
    2. Enter a name for your listener. <\/li>\n
    3. In the SSL certificate section, choose “Choose a certificate from ACM (recommended)”.<\/li>\n
    4. Select a certificate issued by Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM) or an imported certificate, or you can create a new certificate using ACM.<\/li>\n
    5. Choose the security policy that suits your needs.<\/li>\n
    6. Specify the port that the listener should use. <\/li>\n
    7. Select the target group where the load balancer should route the traffic. <\/li>\n
    8. Click “Next” to proceed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Step 3: Configure Security Groups<\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Choose “Create a new security group” or “Use existing security group” in the “Configure Security Groups” section. <\/li>\n
      2. If you choose to create a new security group, enter a name and a description for the new security group. <\/li>\n
      3. Choose the VPC where your EC2 instances are running. <\/li>\n
      4. Verify that the rules list only allows the traffic that is required. Add the necessary inbound and outbound rules. <\/li>\n
      5. Click “Next” to proceed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Step 4: Configure Routing<\/h2>\n
          \n
        1. Choose “Create a new target group” or “Use existing target group” in the “Configure Routing” section. <\/li>\n
        2. Enter a name and a description for the new target group, or choose an existing target group. <\/li>\n
        3. Choose the protocol and port that your EC2 instances are running on. <\/li>\n
        4. Choose the health check settings for your target group. <\/li>\n
        5. Click “Create” to proceed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Step 5: Register Targets<\/h2>\n
            \n
          1. Choose the target group that you created or chose in the “Register Targets” section. <\/li>\n
          2. Choose “Instances,” and then select the EC2 instance that you want to register. You can select multiple instances.<\/li>\n
          3. Choose “Add to registered” to register the selected instance. <\/li>\n
          4. Verify that the status of the registered instance is “Healthy” and then click “Next” to proceed. <\/li>\n
          5. Review the load balancer settings, and then click “Create” to create the load balancer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Step 6: Test the Load Balancer<\/h2>\n
              \n
            1. After the load balancer is created, test it to ensure that it is functioning correctly. <\/li>\n
            2. Copy the DNS name of the load balancer from the Description tab of the Load Balancer Console. <\/li>\n
            3. Enter the DNS name in the browser and verify that the application is functional.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Conclusion<\/h1>\n

              Congratulations! You have successfully set up an HTTPS listener in AWS Elastic Load Balancer. Using HTTPS with ELB provides secure communication between clients and your web application. The tutorial took you through the steps necessary to set up an HTTPS listener in ELB. The steps include creating a load balancer, configuring listeners, security groups, routing, and registering targets. By following the tutorial, you can now provide an encrypted communication channel between your web application and its users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
