Can I create a load balancer for just a site hosted on s3?

Question

I have a site hosted on s3, I do use cloudfront to control the http error codes returned. I have a .app domain that I would like to point at that site but I guess I need an SSL certificate for that and I heard Amazon has free ones if you use their load balancer.

So how do I go about setting up their load balancer to work with my S3 hosted site?

Thanks.

While that is true, you don't need -- and can't use -- a load balancer with an S3+CloudFront site. Amazon Certificate Manager works directly with CloudFront, and no balancer is required in this configuration. Certs are still free.
