AWS v6.77.0 published on Wednesday, Apr 9, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-aws

This resource represents a successful validation of an ACM certificate in concert with other resources.

Most commonly, this resource is used together with aws.route53.Record and aws.acm.Certificate to request a DNS validated certificate, deploy the required validation records and wait for validation to complete.

WARNING: This resource implements a part of the validation workflow. It does not represent a real-world entity in AWS, therefore changing or deleting this resource on its own has no immediate effect.

Example Usage

DNS Validation with Route 53

CertificateValidation Resource Properties

To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

Inputs

In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

The CertificateValidation resource accepts the following input properties:

CertificateArn
This property is required.
Changes to this property will trigger replacement.
string
ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
ValidationRecordFqdns Changes to this property will trigger replacement. List<string>
List of FQDNs that implement the validation. Only valid for DNS validation method ACM certificates. If this is set, the resource can implement additional sanity checks and has an explicit dependency on the resource that is implementing the validation

Changes to this property will trigger replacement.
string
ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
ValidationRecordFqdns Changes to this property will trigger replacement. []string

Changes to this property will trigger replacement.
String
ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
validationRecordFqdns Changes to this property will trigger replacement. List<String>

certificate_arn
This property is required.
Changes to this property will trigger replacement.
str
ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
validation_record_fqdns Changes to this property will trigger replacement. Sequence[str]
