To expose a specific HTTPS port on an EC2 instance, you will need to open the port in the security group associated with the instance. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the EC2 dashboard.
  2. Select the EC2 instance for which you want to expose the HTTPS port.
  3. In the Description tab at the bottom of the page, find the Security Groups section and click on the security group linked to your instance.
  4. In the security group settings, click the Inbound Rules tab, then click Edit Inbound Rules.
  5. Click Add Rule, then choose HTTPS from the Type dropdown menu. You can set the Source to be your own IP address or a specific IP range, or you can leave it as 0.0.0.0/0 to allow access from any IP address.
  6. Click Save Rules to apply the changes.


Now, your EC2 instance should be accessible on the specific HTTPS port that you have just opened. You may need to ensure that the necessary software and configurations are in place on the instance to handle HTTPS traffic.
