If the top level is the same you can use a wildcard (*.example.com) cert.

You're missing the use-case where you want to use a wildcard certificate and an EV certificate. You can't get an EV wildcard certificate.

Yes that's not possible as EV certs are not issue for wildcards.

My counter is that EV certs are for chumps and the entire concept is a scamola. The only justification I'd accept for getting one is proper A/B testing that an EV cert lead to increased revenue. There's no inherent security argument for them.

That's my post, and my misunderstanding. I'll clean it up now, thanks!

BTW, is there any place to log feature requests?

We have the AWS Business support plan. If you have it, you can file feature requests using the support interface.

I love elastic beanstalk (minus it's mediocre docs). Agreed here, does elastic beanstalk support setup of new-style elbs (without me doing extensive customization)? When will it if not?

Elastic Beanstalk supports ALB.

Small correction to my previous answer, Elastic Beanstalk will support ALB in the very near future.

These new features are cool... but they still pale in comparison to something like HAProxy.

I guess the tradeoff is that with ELB/ALB, like most PaaS, you don't have to "manage" your load balancer hosts. And it's probably cheaper than running an HAProxy cluster on EC2.

But for the power you get with HAProxy, is it worth it?

Does anyone have experience running HAProxy on EC2 at large scale?

Why do you need IPv6? It seems pretty unnecessary in a VPC.

https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=05042016a > Starting June 1, 2016 all apps submitted to the App Store must support IPv6-only networking.

IPv4 traffic over IPv6 is permitted, though. They just want you to use APIs that work independently of the underlying decision to use IPv4 or IPv6.

+1 for CloudFormation support on launch day. +1 for support for ECS services with dynamic ports (finally!) -1 for no CloudFormation support for ECS

(To configure an ECS service to use an ALB, you need to set a Target Group ARN in the ECS service, which is not exposed by CloudFormation)
