AWS issued certificate connect to EC2 instance

Question

I am having problems connecting the AWS certificate manager issued SSL for a domain which is hosted on AWS EC2. How do I make sure the https works? Do I need to generate key and csr on server side and then submit it to AWS somehow? However, I do not see any option to interact with the AWS certificate manager in this way.

There is no tutorial of any kind on AWS itself. Thank you for your help.

I have added a load balancer with HTTPS enabled pointing to the EC2 instance and the AWS certificate. However, on trying to access https version of the domain in browser I get the page to error with the following: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Answer 1

You must deploy an SSL/TLS certificate on your load balancer. The load balancer uses the certificate to terminate the connection and then decrypt requests from clients before sending them to the instances.

Here are the steps on configuring SSL on a Classic ELB.
