AWS v6.80.0 published on Tuesday, May 6, 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

    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 string
    ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
    ValidationRecordFqdns 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
    CertificateArn string
    ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
    ValidationRecordFqdns []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
    certificateArn String
    ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
    validationRecordFqdns 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
    certificateArn string
    ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
    validationRecordFqdns 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
    certificate_arn str
    ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
    validation_record_fqdns Sequence[str]
    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
    certificateArn String
    ARN of the certificate that is being validated.
    validationRecordFqdns 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

    Outputs

    All input properties are implicitly available as output properties. Additionally, the CertificateValidation resource produces the following output properties:

    Id string
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    Id string
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    id String
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    id string
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    id str
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    id String
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
