Secure ECS Web Server Provisioning

Scenario

A developer creates standardized custom ECS images to bake in application dependencies and server configuration, then launches instances from those images and deploys SSL certificates onto them to serve traffic over HTTPS — a routine web-server provisioning workflow.

How the products combine

1. ecs · ecs-manage-images — ECS — Manage custom images for ECS instances

See ecs/ecs-manage-images.

2. cas · cas-deploy-certificate — Certificate Management Service — Deploy SSL certificate to servers or cloud resources

See cas/cas-deploy-certificate.

Typical questions

• set up secure web server on ECS
• launch ECS and deploy SSL cert
• create server image and install certificate
• provision HTTPS server on Alibaba Cloud
• ECS自定义镜像部署SSL证书
• 创建ECS镜像并部署HTTPS证书
• 部署安全Web服务器
• ECS实例安装SSL证书

Q: How do I provision a secure HTTPS web server on Alibaba Cloud ECS? A: You can provision a secure HTTPS web server on Alibaba Cloud ECS by combining ECS custom image management with Certificate Management Service. First, create a standardized custom ECS image to bake in application dependencies and server configuration. Then, launch instances from that image and deploy an SSL certificate to serve traffic over HTTPS.
