Explanation

An internet-facing ALB provides a single front end for your Auto Scaling group across multiple By configuring the ALB’s HTTP listener to redirect all traffic to HTTPS, you ensure the site is always accessed securely over TLS. A host‐based rule on the HTTPS listener that only forwards requests where the Host header matches example.com guarantees that only https://example.com is served (all other hostnames will receive a default 404). Finally, a Route 53 alias record pointing to the ALB gives you the custom domain without needing to manage certificates yourself on EC2 instances.
