Setting up an ssl certificate on an AWS EC2 instance or elatic load balncer

How do I setup an SSL cert on a single instance AWS EC2 server or load balancer.  All the documentation says that you need to go to a network tier.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/configuring-https-elb.html

I do not see the network tier when i follow these instructions. I added the certs in certificate manager.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

I forgot to mention that if you wish to use a non AWS SSL certificate (i.e. purchased from a third party), you can upload the certificate file via Identity and Access management.

Here are the instructions should you wish to upload an external certificate to IAM:

So we didnt even have a load balancer setup. Once added HTTP started working once i added A record for the new load balancer DNS name.  After this we assigned the CERT we uploaded to AWS.  The one thing i did figure out after a while is you need to add the inbound rule for the security group for HTTPS to the EC2 instance and we were good.

Thank YOu Steeve.
