Implements IConstruct, IDependable, IInspectable, ITaggable

The AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate resource requests an AWS Certificate Manager ( ACM ) certificate that you can use to enable secure connections.

For example, you can deploy an ACM certificate to an Elastic Load Balancer to enable HTTPS support. For more information, see RequestCertificate in the AWS Certificate Manager API Reference.

When you use the AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate resource in a CloudFormation stack, domain validation is handled automatically if all three of the following are true: The certificate domain is hosted in Amazon Route 53, the domain resides in your AWS account , and you are using DNS validation.

However, if the certificate uses email validation, or if the domain is not hosted in Route 53, then the stack will remain in the CREATE_IN_PROGRESS state. Further stack operations are delayed until you validate the certificate request, either by acting upon the instructions in the validation email, or by adding a CNAME record to your DNS configuration. For more information, see Option 1: DNS Validation and Option 2: Email Validation .

---

domainName

Type: string

The fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as www.example.com, with which you want to secure an ACM certificate. Use an asterisk (*) to create a wildcard certificate that protects several sites in the same domain. For example, *.example.com protects www.example.com , site.example.com , and images.example.com..

See also: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-certificatemanager-certificate.html#cfn-certificatemanager-certificate-domainname

---

certificateAuthorityArn?

Type: string (optional)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the private certificate authority (CA) that will be used to issue the certificate.

If you do not provide an ARN and you are trying to request a private certificate, ACM will attempt to issue a public certificate. For more information about private CAs, see the AWS Private Certificate Authority user guide. The ARN must have the following form:

arn:aws:acm-pca:region:account:certificate-authority/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

See also: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-certificatemanager-certificate.html#cfn-certificatemanager-certificate-certificateauthorityarn

---

certificateTransparencyLoggingPreference?

Type: string (optional)

You can opt out of certificate transparency logging by specifying the DISABLED option. Opt in by specifying ENABLED .

If you do not specify a certificate transparency logging preference on a new CloudFormation template, or if you remove the logging preference from an existing template, this is the same as explicitly enabling the preference.

Changing the certificate transparency logging preference will update the existing resource by calling UpdateCertificateOptions on the certificate. This action will not create a new resource.

See also: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-certificatemanager-certificate.html#cfn-certificatemanager-certificate-certificatetransparencyloggingpreference

---

domainValidationOptions?

Type: IResolvable | IResolvable | DomainValidationOptionProperty[] (optional)

Domain information that domain name registrars use to verify your identity.

In order for a AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate to be provisioned and validated in CloudFormation automatically, the DomainName property needs to be identical to one of the DomainName property supplied in DomainValidationOptions, if the ValidationMethod is DNS. Failing to keep them like-for-like will result in failure to create the domain validation records in Route53.

See also: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-certificatemanager-certificate.html#cfn-certificatemanager-certificate-domainvalidationoptions

---

keyAlgorithm?

Type: string (optional)

Specifies the algorithm of the public and private key pair that your certificate uses to encrypt data.

RSA is the default key algorithm for ACM certificates. Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) keys are smaller, offering security comparable to RSA keys but with greater computing efficiency. However, ECDSA is not supported by all network clients. Some AWS services may require RSA keys, or only support ECDSA keys of a particular size, while others allow the use of either RSA and ECDSA keys to ensure that compatibility is not broken. Check the requirements for the AWS service where you plan to deploy your certificate. For more information about selecting an algorithm, see Key algorithms .

Algorithms supported for an ACM certificate request include:

• RSA_2048
• EC_prime256v1
• EC_secp384r1

Other listed algorithms are for imported certificates only. > When you request a private PKI certificate signed by a CA from AWS Private CA, the specified signing algorithm family (RSA or ECDSA) must match the algorithm family of the CA's secret key.

Default: RSA_2048

---

subjectAlternativeNames?

Type: string[] (optional)

Additional FQDNs to be included in the Subject Alternative Name extension of the ACM certificate.

For example, you can add www.example.net to a certificate for which the DomainName field is www.example.com if users can reach your site by using either name.

See also: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-certificatemanager-certificate.html#cfn-certificatemanager-certificate-subjectalternativenames

---

tags?

Type: CfnTag[] (optional)

Key-value pairs that can identify the certificate.

See also: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-certificatemanager-certificate.html#cfn-certificatemanager-certificate-tags

---

validationMethod?

Type: string (optional)

The method you want to use to validate that you own or control the domain associated with a public certificate.

You can validate with DNS or validate with email . We recommend that you use DNS validation.

If not specified, this property defaults to email validation.

addDeletionOverride(path)

public addDeletionOverride(path: string): void

Parameters

• path string — The path of the value to delete.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

---

addDependency(target)

public addDependency(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

• target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

---

addDependsOn(target)⚠️

public addDependsOn(target: CfnResource): void

⚠️ Deprecated: use addDependency

Parameters

• target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

---

addMetadata(key, value)

public addMetadata(key: string, value: any): void

Parameters

• key string
• value any

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

See also: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

---

addOverride(path, value)

public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Parameters

• path string — - The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.
• value any — - The value.

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with "Properties." (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes', ['myattribute']);
cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType', 'INCLUDE');

would add the overrides

"Properties": {
  "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
    {
      "Projection": {
        "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
        ...
      }
      ...
    },
    {
      "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
      ...
    },
  ]
  ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

---

addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath)

public addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath: string): void

Parameters

• propertyPath string — The path to the property.

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

---

addPropertyOverride(propertyPath, value)

public addPropertyOverride(propertyPath: string, value: any): void

Parameters

• propertyPath string — The path of the property.
• value any — The value.

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

---

applyRemovalPolicy(policy?, options?)

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy?: RemovalPolicy, options?: RemovalPolicyOptions): void

Parameters

• policy RemovalPolicy
• options RemovalPolicyOptions

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN). In some cases, a snapshot can be taken of the resource prior to deletion (RemovalPolicy.SNAPSHOT). A list of resources that support this policy can be found in the following link:

---

getAtt(attributeName, typeHint?)

public getAtt(attributeName: string, typeHint?: ResolutionTypeHint): Reference

Parameters

• attributeName string — The name of the attribute.
• typeHint ResolutionTypeHint

Returns

• Reference

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

---

getMetadata(key)

public getMetadata(key: string): any

Parameters

• key string

Returns

• any

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

See also: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)
