Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 73 discussion

You are designing an SSL/TLS solution that requires HTTPS clients to be authenticated by the Web server using client certificate authentication. The solution must be resilient.
Which of the following options would you consider for configuring the web server infrastructure? (Choose two.)

  • A. Configure ELB with TCP listeners on TCP/443. And place the Web servers behind it.
  • B. Configure your Web servers with EIPs. Place the Web servers in a Route53 Record Set and configure health checks against all Web servers.
  • C. Configure ELB with HTTPS listeners, and place the Web servers behind it.
  • D. Configure your web servers as the origins for a CloudFront distribution. Use custom SSL certificates on your CloudFront distribution.

TCP/443 or HTTPS listener either way you can configure, but you can only upload ssl certificate on HTTPS listener.

Selected Answer: AB
A: NLB TLS is not terminated on the ELB. Example: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/patterns/configure-mutual-tls-authentication-for-applications-running-on-amazon-eks.html B: Doable, Route 53 multivalue with health check works as a load balancer. C: Application Load Balancers do not support mutual TLS authentication (mTLS). For mTLS support, create a TCP listener using a Network Load Balancer or a Classic Load Balancer and implement mTLS on the target. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/create-https-listener.html D: CloudFront does not support client authentication with client-side SSL certificates. If an origin requests a client-side certificate, CloudFront drops the request (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/RequestAndResponseBehaviorCustomOrigin.html#RequestCustomClientSideSslAuth)

A&C, i will choose A&C, both ALB and NLB can do that, but not cloudfront or route 53.

ELB does not do mutual authentication, aka client certificate authentication. You can use a TCP listener on an ELB on TCP/443 and pass the connection to your backing instances to do mutual authentication.
