Enabling HTTPS on Our Load Balancer

We are very close to enabling HTTPS for our WordPress blog! We're now ready to enable HTTPS on our load balancer. To do so, we need to add a new HTTPS listener that will accept encrypted connections on port 443 and forward requests via HTTP to our WordPress instances on port 80.

Creating an HTTPS listener

Creating an HTTPS listener is very similar to creating an HTTP listener. We just need to specify a few more parameters regarding the TLS/SSL encryption.
