JSPM – @aws-cdk/aws-certificatemanager@0.24.0

Package Exports

@aws-cdk/aws-certificatemanager

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@aws-cdk/aws-certificatemanager) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

AWS Certificate Manager Construct Library

This package provides Constructs for provisioning and referencing certificates which can be used in CloudFront and ELB.

Validation

If certificates are created as part of a CloudFormation run, the CloudFormation provisioning will not complete until domain ownership for the certificate is completed. For email validation, this involves receiving an email on one of a number of predefined domains and following the instructions in the email. The email addresses use will be:

DNS validation is possible in ACM, but is not currently available in CloudFormation. A Custom Resource will be developed for this, but is not currently available.

Because of these blocks, it's probably better to provision your certificates either in a separate stack from your main service, or provision them manually. In both cases, you'll import the certificate into your stack afterwards.

Provisioning

Provision a new certificate by creating an instance of Certificate. Email validation will be sent to example.com:

const certificate = new Certificate(this, 'Certificate', {
    domainName: 'test.example.com'
});

Importing

Import a certificate manually, if you know the ARN:

const certificate = Certificate.import(this, 'Certificate', {
    certificteArn: "arn:aws:..."
});

To share the certificate between stacks in the same CDK application, simply pass the Certificate object between the stacks.

TODO

Custom Resource that can looks up the certificate ARN by domain name by querying ACM.
Custom Resource to automate certificate validation through Route53.
