QuestionQ1

Security and Compliance

A company intends to host a public web application on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancer. The company’s security team wants to secure the website with AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) certificates. The load balancer must automatically redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS.

Which solution meets these requirements?

Explanation

An Application Load Balancer can use an ACM certificate on an HTTPS listener and can redirect requests received by an HTTP listener on port 80 to HTTPS on port 443. This provides TLS termination for the public website while enforcing HTTPS for clients.
