Explanation
They can place the EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB), provision an SSL certificate using AWS Certificate Manager (ACM), and associate the SSL certificate with the ALB. They can also provision a third-party SSL certificate and install it on each EC2 instance. Finally, they can configure the ALB to listen on port 443 and to forward traffic to port 443 on the instances. This will ensure that traffic is encrypted both between the client and the ALB, and between the ALB and the EC2 instances.
