Pattern: Use of HTTP for aws_alb_listener
Issue: -
Plain HTTP is unencrypted and human-readable. This means that if a malicious actor was to eavesdrop on your connection, they would be able to see all of your data flowing back and forth.
You should use HTTPS, which is HTTP over an encrypted (TLS) connection, meaning eavesdroppers cannot read your traffic.
Resolution: Switch to HTTPS to benefit from TLS security features.
The following example will fail the aws-elb-http-not-used check.
resource "aws_alb_listener" "bad_example" {
protocol = "HTTP"
}The following example will pass the aws-elb-http-not-used check.
resource "aws_alb_listener" "good_example" {
protocol = "HTTPS"
}
