Back when I was working with routing issues, I generated a certificate in AWS Certificate Manager in order to start serving the bucket through HTTPS. Unfortunately, the cert took longer than an hour to get beyond a pending/verifying state, so I wasn't able to continue forward at tha time. Today I took the time to set it up and it was pretty simple:

  • Generate a cert for your domain (in this case i set it to jarf.me and *.jarf.me)
  • certificate summary
  • Create a cloudfront distribution for the bucket
  • cloudfront settings
  • Serve using the SSL cert from the cloudfront distribution
  • cloudfront summary
