A company is deploying a web portal. The company wants to ensure that only the web portion of the application is publicly accessible. To accomplish this, the VPC was designed with two public subnets and two private subnets. The application will run on several Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. SSL termination must be offloaded from the EC2 instances. What should a solutions architect do to ensure these requirements are met?

The Application Load Balancer (ALB) should be placed in the public subnets to handle incoming traffic and perform SSL termination. The Auto Scaling group should be in the private subnets to ensure that the application instances are not directly accessible from the internet.
