AWS ALB redirect to https

Question

My Apache servers are behind an ALB/ELB. I\'m terminating SSL at the load balancer. The load balancer listens on both 80 and 443. I want to redirect all http requests to http

Answer 1

Application Load Balancer now supports two new actions: redirect and fixed-response. You can configure these actions as part of the content-based routing rules, enabling you to offload this functionality to the load balancer. This simplifies deployments while benefiting from the scale, the availability, and the reliability of Elastic Load Balancing.

Here's what I did to make it work on AWS:
