ALB + JWT verification 💪
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/listener-verify-jwt.html
#ALB
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/application/listener-verify-jwt.html
ALB will validate the token signature and requires two mandatory claims: 'iss' (issuer) and 'exp' (expiration). Additionally, if present in the token, ALB will also validate 'nbf' (not before) and 'iat' (issued at time) claims. You can configure up to 10 additional claims for validation.
These claims support three formats:
🔹 Single-string: A single text value
🔹 Space-separated values: Multiple values separated by spaces (maximum 10 values)
🔹 String-array: An array of text values (maximum 10 values)
If the token is valid, the load balancer forwards the request with token as is to the target. Otherwise, it rejects the request.

Good evening, people jan! 🤗
Before we all head into “weekdays closing Friday ceremony :D))” mode, quick heads up on a pretty cool update:
AWS Application Load Balancer now supports JWT verification - which basically means :
🫴 Your ALB can now verify JSON Web Tokens in request headers automatically
🫴 Handles token signatures, expiration times, and claims - zero code changes
🫴 ALB does all that OAuth 2.0 token validation for you now
🫴 Works with Client Credentials Flow and other OAuth 2.0 flows
So just simplify your life - no more writing token validation logic in every service. 😎
Already available in all AWS Regions where ALB runs.
🔗 Full details here , if you want to dig in over the weekend (or you know, maybe just enjoy your weekend instead 😉)
Have a great weekend, everyone! 💙
