Documentation
aws-alb — Application Load Balancer
ALB with HTTPS listeners, target groups, listener rules, and access logging — drop-in for ECS/EC2/Lambda targets. Hand it an ACM certificate and you get a TLS 1.3 (1.2-floor) HTTPS listener with automatic HTTP→HTTPS 301 redirect; define target groups as a simple map and route to them with host/path listener rules. Hardened defaults: invalid-header dropping, desync mitigation, and deletion protection are all on.
Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.
Requirements
