How to run Elastic Beanstalk Application on SSL (https)

-

To run an Elastic Beanstalk application on SSL (https), you need to perform the following steps:


  1. Obtain an SSL certificate: First, you need to obtain an SSL certificate for your domain. You can either purchase one from a certificate authority or use a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt.

      2.  Upload the SSL certificate to AWS Certificate Manager (ACM): Once you have obtained   the SSL certificate, you need to upload it to the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM). ACM is a service that lets you manage SSL/TLS certificates for your AWS resources.

3. Configure your Elastic Beanstalk environment: Next, you need to configure your Elastic Beanstalk environment to use the SSL certificate. You can do this by adding a listener to your Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) that is used by your Elastic Beanstalk environment.

4.Configure your DNS: Finally, you need to configure your DNS to route traffic to the HTTPS endpoint. You can do this by adding a CNAME record to your DNS provider that points to the HTTPS endpoint of your Elastic Beanstalk environment.


Here are the detailed steps to perform these tasks:


1.Obtain an SSL certificate

You can obtain an SSL certificate from a certificate authority like Symantec, Comodo, or GlobalSign. Alternatively, you can use a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt. The process of obtaining an SSL certificate depends on the certificate authority you choose. Once you have obtained the SSL certificate, make sure you have access to the private key, the certificate, and the intermediate certificate.

2.Upload the SSL certificate to AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)

     To upload the SSL certificate to ACM, follow these steps:

a. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the ACM dashboard.

b. Click the "Import a certificate" button.

c. Enter a name for the certificate, and then paste the private key, certificate, and intermediate certificate in the appropriate fields.

d. Click the "Review and import" button, and then click the "Import" button.

3.Configure your Elastic Beanstalk environment

To configure your Elastic Beanstalk environment to use the SSL certificate, follow these steps:

a. Navigate to the Elastic Beanstalk console.

b. Click the name of the environment you want to configure.

c. In the left navigation pane, click "Configuration".

d. Scroll down to the "Load Balancer" section, and then click "Modify".

e. Under "Listener", click "Add".

f. Select "HTTPS" from the drop-down list, and then select the SSL certificate you uploaded to ACM.

g. Click the "Apply" button, and then click the "Save" button.

4.Configure your DNS

To configure your DNS to route traffic to the HTTPS endpoint, follow these steps:

a. Navigate to your DNS provider's website.

b. Add a CNAME record that points to the HTTPS endpoint of your Elastic Beanstalk environment. The HTTPS endpoint is in the form of "your-environment-name.region.elasticbeanstalk.com".

c. Wait for the DNS changes to propagate.

That's it! Your Elastic Beanstalk application is now running on SSL (https).

AWS Core Security EPICs refer to the foundational security features and capabilities provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) to ensure the security of customer data and resources in the cloud. EPICs stands for "Elevated Privileges Isolation and Control," which are key principles of cloud security. Identity and Access Management (IAM) - AWS IAM is a powerful tool that helps users manage access to AWS resources. It provides a centralized view of all users and resources, allowing administrators to create, manage, and enforce security policies. IAM enables administrators to create roles with specific permissions, set up policies that define which actions can be performed on resources, and manage users and groups. IAM also supports multi-factor authentication (MFA), which provides an extra layer of security for users. Network Security - AWS provides a wide range of security controls to help protect the network infrastructure. These include virtual private cloud (VPC), network acces

               Monitoring  your network is essential for several               reasons, including: Security: Monitoring your network can help you identify potential security breaches or threats, such as unauthorized access or suspicious activity. It allows you to take action quickly to prevent or minimize any damage caused by a security incident. Performance: Monitoring your network can help you identify performance issues such as slow network speed or bandwidth constraints. You can then take action to optimize your network to improve its performance. Availability: Network downtime can result in lost productivity and revenue. Monitoring your network can help you identify and resolve issues quickly, reducing the amount of downtime your network experiences.                                                                                     Compliance: Depending on your industry or organization, you may be required to meet specific compliance requirements.
