You can only configure a single SSL listener per load balancer, and that listener can only use a single certificate. That means you do indeed still need to use either wildcard certs or certs with multiple hostnames. Luckily you can very easily create those through the AWS certificate manager for free.
- statictype 10y agoWait - AWS has a service to generate wild card Certs that can be attached to ELB? Did not realise this was a thing
