Does Application Load Balancer provide built-in support for HTTPS and include automatic SSL certificate management like how Azure does ?

0

I have deployed my app using ECS Fargate and attached ALB to it.I want to route the ALB to https, so was wondering if AWS provides any built-in support for https like how Azure does. If it's not possible,I wanted to know if we can use AWS domain instead of regestering and using a custom domain.

Hello.
In order to perform HTTPS communication with ALB, you need to use the custom domain you purchased and issue an SSL certificate with ACM etc.

  • I am aware of what you are saying here. But I wanted to know if AWS provides any AWS-owned domain for routing my application over https.

    Let me be more specific here : I want to deploy my application in aws marketplace,so when a customer purchases the app and it needs to be deployed in their aws account how will this work ? will the customer have to bring his/her own domain and certificate ?

  • Since it is not possible to issue SSL certificates with an AWS-owned domain, users must provide their own custom domain.

  • Okay but what about the case when a customer purchases my app from marketplace and deploys it in their aws account ,how will it work ? will the customer have to bring his/her own domain and certificate ?

  • Yes, I believe that if resources are deployed to the AWS account of a user who purchases an application in the marketplace, the purchaser will need to prepare a custom domain. As for certificates and domains, they are not included in the marketplace application and would need to be prepared by the purchaser. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/container-product-getting-started.html

  • Thanks for resolving my query !
