Application loadbalancer support client credential flow with JWT verification

New Feature: JWT Verification for Application Load Balancer (ALB)

AWS introduces JWT Verification for ALB, enhancing secure M2M and S2S communications by verifying JWTs in request headers. This offloads OAuth 2.0 token validation to ALB, reducing architectural complexity and operational overhead.

What to do

• Utilize JWT Verification for secure service-to-service communication.
• Implement centralized token validation with minimal changes to application code.
