This thread  was started more than a year ago, asking for when Amazon Web Services will add support for HTTP/2  into their ELB. In addition to that, people are also asking, how to configure ELB to support multiple SSL certificates. AWS support team has been reluctant on giving out any specific details on when both of these features will be available, citing: I've verified that the ELB team is aware of the interest in ELB supporting HTTP/2. Please keep an eye on What's New from Amazon Web Services: http://aws.amazon.com/new/ for any updates. What is HTTP/2? HTTP/2 is a replacement for how HTTP is expressed “on the wire.” It is not a ground-up rewrite of the protocol; HTTP methods, status codes and semantics are the same, and it should be possible to use the same APIs as HTTP/1.x (possibly with some small additions) to represent the protocol.

As announced today, Google PageSpeed Service PSS (which has been in beta since July 2011) will be shut down forever on August 3, 2015. For every site currently using PageSpeed Service, you must change your DNS before 3rd August 2015 or your site(s) will become completely unavailable on that date. If you wish to continue enjoying many of the performance benefits of PageSpeed Service, the same Google PageSpeed technology is available in a number of alternative packagings which you may wish to consider using, including Apache mod_pagespeed, and nginx ngx_pagespeed. Other cloud-based solutions are available, too. Read more on Google PSS .

You have made right choice by selecting nginx as your web server! According to Netcraft nginx served or proxied 12.96% busiest sites in April 2013 . Setting up nginx with OpenSSL is easy, and I will not cover it here. The goal is to enable SSL on your domain.com website, and just like anything with nginx, everything is very straight forward. I am using latest Amazon Linux in AWS with nginx/1.2.6 and php-fpm installed,  and GeoTrust as digital certificate provider. GeoTrust has product called QuickSSL Premium , which takes just minutes to get your certificate, and it even comes with free trial. Step One - Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR)  Lets generate a key pairs. In this example, I will bypass the passphrase request. 1) generate private key Log in to your Amazon linux box via SSH, and generate 2048 bit RSA private key: openssl genrsa -out www.domain.com.key 2048 For encrypted keys, use -des3 parameter. If you don't use encryption for your priva...
