I'm trying to install an SSL for my website hosted on an EC2, hosted in Ireland. This article below states the load balancer needs to be hosted in n. virginia for Cloud Front to work (so that I can use my custom SSL certificate). Will this work if my website is in Ireland?
I've tried several times but yet to get it working. I have the following - EC2, route53, load balancer, certificate manager, cloudfront.
Many thanks,

CloudFront
You don't need to have your load balancer hosted in North Virginia, this is referring to using AWS Certificate Manager and CloudFront together. I.e., if you want to request an SSL certificate using the AWS Certificate Manager and attach it to your CloudFront distribution.
This is because CloudFront distributes its SSL certificates from North Virginia out to the other edge locations in its distribution network.
What you can do is:
