Renewing a certificate

Focus mode
Renewing a certificate - AWS Certificate Manager

The following example shows how to use the RenewCertificate function. The function renews a private certificate issued by a private certificate authority (CA) and exported with the ExportCertificate function. At this time, only exported private certificates can be renewed with this function. In order to renew your AWS Private CA certificates with ACM, you must first grant the ACM service principal permissions to do so. For more information, see Assigning Certificate Renewal Permissions to ACM.
