You will:

Start out by installing Apache with mod_ssl.
From there, you’ll add firewall rules to allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
Next, you’ll enable the EPEL repository by installing the epel-release package. That will enable you to install the Certbot application and the Apache Certbot plugin.
You will then create and install an SSL certificate using the Certbot utility.
Finally, you’ll automate the certificate renewal process so that your site is never without a valid SSL certificate.
