In the previous post we created a load balancers with the target groups, rules, and instances to handle HTTPS traffic.  In this post we are going to set up our DNS records in Route 53. So go to the Route 53 dashboard, click on your domain

1. Click on "Create record"

 In the previous post we created four instances with a Launch Template. In this post we are going to add DNS records in Route 53 and configure our Application Load Balancer with our certificates.

Before we start creating stuff let's take a step back and look at how we want to configure the website.  Let's say a bank wants to branch out into investing, so it wants to dedicate to instances to it's investing arm.  In our architecture we would have two target groups, one target group handling traffic for https://acmebanking.com and the other target group handling traffic for https://investing.acmebanking.com

We are going to register all four instances on the load balancer.

1. So now we ready to create an Application Load Balancer, give it a name and for the listener add an HTTPS listener to the existing one

 In this post we are going to set up our website to serve up https traffic so that our traffic can be encrypted.  In this post the first part of the series we are going to request a certificate from the Certificate Manager in AWS.

1. The first thing we need to do is create a certificate, In the AWS search field search for Certificate Manager then click on the drop down auto complete choice.
