What is the right way to import certificates in AWS ACM?

I'm an absolute beginner in AWS space. I'm trying to map serverless lambda functions to the custom domain. This is the ultimate goal!

I got a free SSL certificate from sslforfree which I wish to register at AWS' ACM. Also, I do not wish to transfer domain to AWS Route 53 as GoDaddy's customer support is awesome!

I have (probably) imported the certificates in the ap-south-1 region

certificate import

Not sure if the certificate was imported? I did this multiple times - not sure how many times.

The limit seems breached - I think it's stupid for AWS systems to have the limit set to zero?

Basis this logic - assuming that the certificate was imported.

Also, I cannot see a place in the ACM console to view the imported certificates.

I found that all the assumptions were wrong.

no cert found

I tried requesting a new certificate through both DNS and Email validation approaches but I found this:

request certificate error

Using serverless with serverless-domain-manager plugin

sls create_domain

Which throws this:

Error --------------------------------------------------

Error: Error: Could not find the certificate ...
      at ServerlessCustomDomain.<anonymous>

All confirming that the certificate was not imported.

Solution

  • The problem was that the initial limit set by AWS was zero. This doesn't sound sensible!

    I contacted their support and increased the limit!

    Now the import is done successfully!
