FAQPage Schema

How do I automate ACM certificate validation and renewal for AWS load balancers?▼

Automate AWS Certificate Manager certificate validation and renewal for ALB, CloudFront, and API Gateway by using AWS CLI commands to handle DNS or email validation flows and inspect renewal windows.

How do I request and import ACM certificates for CloudFront distributions?▼

Request and import ACM certificates for CloudFront distributions by running AWS CLI commands, ensuring certificates are provisioned in the us-east-1 region to successfully attach them to your CDN endpoints.

Do I need specific IAM permissions to manage AWS Certificate Manager certificates via CLI?▼

Yes, managing AWS Certificate Manager certificates via CLI requires IAM permissions for acm:* actions, AWS CLI v2, and certificates located in us-east-1 for CloudFront deployments.

What is the difference between DNS and email validation for AWS Certificate Manager?▼

DNS and email validation are supported flows for AWS Certificate Manager certificates, where DNS validation automates renewal through CNAME records while email validation sends approval requests to domain administrators.

Can I use AWS Certificate Manager certificates to secure API Gateway custom domains?▼

Why does my CloudFront deployment require an ACM certificate in us-east-1?▼
