Issue # (if applicable)
Relates to #38666.
Reason for this change
AWS added TLS-based security policies for Application Load Balancer (HTTPS listeners) and Network Load Balancer (TLS listeners) that comply with RFC 9151 for the Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) 1.0 suite: AWS Application and Network Load Balancers now support RFC 9151 compliant security policies from August 2026.
The CDK
SslPolicyenum did not expose these policies yet, so users had to workaround via mixin or fall back to the L1 escape hatch to select them. Let's change this.Description of changes
Added the 7 RFC 9151 (CNSA 1.0) security policies to the shared
SslPolicyenum (used by both ALB and NLB listeners):RFC9151_TLS13_13→ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS13-1-3-RFC9151-FIPS-2023-07RFC9151_TLS13_12→ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS13-1-2-RFC9151-FIPS-2023-07RFC9151_TLS13_12_EXT0→ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS13-1-2-Ext0-RFC9151-FIPS-2023-07RFC9151_TLS13_12_INTEROP1→ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS13-1-2-RFC9151-INTEROP1-FIPS-2023-07RFC9151_TLS13_12_INTEROP2→ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS13-1-2-RFC9151-INTEROP2-FIPS-2023-07RFC9151_TLS13_12_INTEROP3→ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS13-1-2-RFC9151-INTEROP3-FIPS-2023-07RFC9151_TLS13_12_INTEROP4→ELBSecurityPolicy-TLS13-1-2-RFC9151-INTEROP4-FIPS-2023-07No behavior or default changes: the CloudFormation default (
ELBSecurityPolicy-2016-08) is unchanged, and no feature flag is introduced.SslPolicyis a free-form string in the CloudFormationAWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listenerspec (noAllowedValuesconstraint), so the value is passed through to the ELBv2 API at deploy time. Each enum member documents the supported TLS versions and ciphers and links to the AWS documentation.Describe any new or updated permissions being added
None.
Description of how you validated changes
SslPolicyvalue. All of them passed.aws elbv2 describe-ssl-policies. The API returns exactly these 7RFC9151policy names. This is the same API CloudFormation forwardsSslPolicyto at deploy time.describe-ssl-policiesdocumentation for ALB and NLBChecklist
