Amazon Elastic Load Balancing Adds Support for HTTPS

Posted on: Oct 14, 2010

We are pleased to announce the availability of HTTPS support for Elastic Load Balancing. This feature allows you to decrypt SSL/TLS traffic at the load balancer – offloading this task from your application instances. All of the load balancing features available to HTTP sessions, including session stickiness, are available for use with the decrypted HTTPS sessions. HTTPS support for ELB also includes centralized storage and management for your SSL server certificates rather than managing certificates on individual application instances. For more information about using Elastic Load Balancing with support for HTTPS, please see Elastic Load Balancing.
