Secure Web Stack Provisioning with SSL

Scenario

A developer uses Terraform to provision a full web application stack (VPC, ECS instances, SLB load balancer, RDS database), then issues private SSL certificates via CAS and deploys them to the provisioned resources to enable HTTPS/mTLS for the entire application.

Q: How do I provision a secure web stack with SSL? A: You can provision a secure web stack with SSL by combining Terraform, ApsaraDB RDS, and the Certificate Management Service (CAS) to automate infrastructure creation and certificate deployment. Terraform provisions the required compute, network, and storage resources, while ApsaraDB RDS manages the database instance lifecycle. CAS then issues private SSL certificates and deploys them to the provisioned resources to enable HTTPS or mTLS across the entire application.
