AWS Certified Developer Associate Practice Test 2

Correct answers - "Assign an SSL certificate to the Load Balancer" : This ensures our Load Balancer can expose an HTTPS endpoint.

• "Open up port 80 & port 443" : This ensures our Load Balancer will allow both the HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443) protocol for incoming connections

• "Configure your EC2 instances to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS": this ensures traffic originating from HTTP onto the Load Balancer are forced a redirect to HTTPS by the EC2 instances before being correctly served, thus ensuring the traffic served is fully encrypted.

Incorrect Answers "Only open up port 80" - Wouldn't allow HTTPS traffic (port 443)

"Only open up port 443" - Wouldn't allow HTTP traffic (port 80)

"Configure your EC2 instances to redirect HTTPS traffic to HTTP" - Would force HTTP traffic, instead of HTTPS
