How to use SSL in AWS ec2 without using load balancer

Question

I created one EC2 instance and hosted a backend for my application on it then I want SSL certificate so I follow some AWS tutorials and then use Load balancer to attach that cert to my EC2.

but now that ELB is costing me too much and I want to remove it.

So i need to know how can i attach SSL to my EC2 without that load balancer

You can't use AWS certificates outside of loadbalencers or cloudfront.

You can use letsencrypt to generate a new (free) certificate from your ec2 instance. See https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/
