Hosting Multiple Domains with SSL on AWS Lightsail

Trying to host multiple applications on AWS Lightsail with https being allowable on all of them, but running into a problem. It appears as though the Lightsail load balancers only allow a single certificate to be active at one time. These sites are low-traffic so I would like to only have a single load balancer or ec2 instance for multiple domains that can support https on all of them. Does AWS provide a way to do this that integrates with Lighsail or what is the recommended approach?

You are correct that LightSail balancers only support 1 certificate, but that single certificate can support up to 10 domain names.

One of the domains is the "main" one and the other (up to) 9 are "alternate" domains and subdomains, but operationally it doesn't make any difference which one is the "main" one and which ones are alternates.

https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en/articles/add-alternate-domain-names-to-tls-ssl-certificate-https

Certificates are not editable, so if you already created one, you'll need to create a new one with all the domains, and attach it to the balancer.
