Elastic Load Balancing Trust Store now supports cross-account sharing using AWS Resource Access Manager

The article discusses a new capability for Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) Trust Stores that enables cross-account sharing using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM). This allows customers to centrally manage their ELB Trust Stores across multiple accounts, streamlining trust store management and enabling consistent Mutual TLS configurations across Application Load Balancers (ALBs).

Specifically, the article covers:

• ELB Trust Store owners can now share their trust stores and revocation lists with other AWS accounts, organizational units (OUs), and specific IAM roles and users through AWS RAM.
• Security Admins can maintain a single or smaller number of trust stores within AWS.
• Application developers can ensure their ALBs are reliably authenticating certificate-based identities by attaching the trust stores managed by their security admins.
• This improves operational efficiency while using Mutual TLS and reduces potential for human error associated with managing disparate trust stores and revocation lists.
• The feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
