    You can’t do that, as the domain is owned by AWS. You need to have your own domain, and do one of the below:

    • Use AWS Certificate Manager with AWS Elastic Load Balancer. (As you don’t have the certificate files to configure directly on your web server)
    • Generate a certificate using a certificate authority like let’s encrypt and configure the SSL on your web server.

    If you can’t get your own domain you can configure AWS CloudFront add your EC2 public DNS as the origin. Then you can use the distribution URL that supports HTTPS.

    No, that is not possible using AWS Certificate Manager and AWS Elastic Load Balancer. A domain name is required to generate certificates.

    Only way to create AWS ELB (Elastic Load Balancer)
    enter image description here

    Create AWS CloudFront with ELB Origin
    enter image description here

    then Redirect HTTP to HTTPS

    enter image description here

    After that, you can access your website using a CDN URL with SSL.
