SSL on Elastic Beanstalk

Question

I have done almost all the steps to get SSL on Elastic Beanstalk, but I am stuck for the last step.

What I did:

1) Get a domain name on GoDaddy -> that works

2) Redirect the DNS with Route53 (using A, Aliast - target being my EB environment) -> that works

Then:

3) Generate an SSL certificate with AWS Certificate Manager for example.com and *.example.com -> that works

4) Go to my EB environment and change the protocol to HTTPS as described here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features.managing.elb.html

Problem: the 'Network Tier' panel is not displayed on my console (see screenshot): Image Network tier missing

What am I missing? Why I cannot see the Network Tier? Is that the way to make example.com accessible through HTTPS (knowing that example.com points to my EB load balancer)?

Note: my application runs with nginx + Node.js. The nginx configuration file is in my .ebextensions folder

Answer 1

I found an alternative solution, although I still don't know why I can't see the 'Network Tier' panel.

Got on EC2 -> Load Balancing -> Load Balancers Click on the load balancer corresponding to your Elastic Beanstalk environment, go to the 'Listeners' tab -> "Add listener" -> Choose HTTPS then follow the instructions on screen.

I hope it helps!

Nb: if you have any idea for the 'Network tier' panel unavailable, I'd be happy to hear from you!
