Not really. Just the communication from your ELBs to the K8s endpoint of your Knative function will go through HTTP.

Not that you can't use letsencrypt, just keep in mind that letsencrypt will not work if you don't externally expose the service requesting the cert or publicly expose your domain because letsencrypt needs to send a challenge to verify that you actually own the domain.

I have already configured EKS ELB with ACM but still domain is not working with HTTPS, it is only opening in HTTP. – Akash Verma Aug 27 '20 at 10:05
Is knative tied to directly to the K8s service that created the load balancer? – Rico Aug 27 '20 at 18:37
It is solved, Just changed the protocol from TCP to HTTP – Akash Verma Aug 27 '20 at 20:28
