Secure AWS ECS Apps with ALB & SSL/TLS (ACM + Route 53) | Hands-On AWS Tutorial | #11

🚀 Episode 11 — Secure AWS ECS Apps with ALB & SSL/TLS

In this video, we dive into integrating SSL and TLS with Amazon ECS, using Application Load Balancers (ALB), AWS Certificate Manager (ACM), and Route 53 for domain integration. We cover both the theory and a hands-on demo, showing how to securely expose ECS tasks over HTTPS and enforce best practices for production-ready setups.
