To setup Https on EC2 instance follow the below steps:
Step 1: Allow HTTPS port on EC2 Instance

  • Go to your security group and select the security group applied to your instance.
  • Select Inbound tab of the security group info.
  • Click Edit.
  • Click Add rule, choose Type: HTTPS.
  • Click: Save.

If you’re hosting DNS of your domain on AWS Route53, then you should also perform the below steps:

Select the appropriate Hosted Zone.

  • If you don’t have an A record for the app’s domain, click Create Record Set and choose Type: A - IPv4 address.

  • In the Value Field, set the Public IP address of your EC2 instance.

  • Otherwise, click on the A record for the app’s domain.

  • Click Save record set.
