Overcoming AWS Region Limitations: Implementing Cognito Authentication with ALB Using OIDC

AWS Cognito offers robust authentication and authorization mechanisms, enabling secure access to your applications. However, one of the challenges developers face is the need for Cognito support in newer or certain AWS regions. This limitation can be a roadblock, particularly when you’re trying to implement user authentication via AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB).

This podcast will explore navigating this challenge by leveraging OpenID Connect (OIDC) as a workaround. We’ll walk you through the steps required to integrate Cognito authentication with ALB in regions where Cognito is unsupported, ensuring that your application remains secure and accessible.
