AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) Terraform module

Terraform module which creates ACM certificates and validates them using Route53 DNS (recommended) or e-mail.

Terraform versions

Terraform 0.12. Pin module version to ~> v2.0. Submit pull-requests to master branch.

Terraform 0.11. Pin module version to ~> v1.0. Submit pull-requests to terraform011 branch.

Usage with Route53 DNS validation (recommended)

module "acm" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/acm/aws"
  version = "~> v2.0"

  domain_name  = "my-domain.com"
  zone_id      = "Z2ES7B9AZ6SHAE"

  subject_alternative_names = [
    "*.my-domain.com",
    "app.sub.my-domain.com",
  ]

  tags = {
    Name = "my-domain.com"
  }
}

Examples

• Complete example with DNS validation (recommended)
• Complete example with EMAIL validation

Conditional creation and validation

Sometimes you need to have a way to create ACM certificate conditionally but Terraform does not allow to use count inside module block, so the solution is to specify argument create_certificate.

module "acm" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/acm/aws"

  create_certificate = false
  # ... omitted
}

Similarly, to disable DNS validation of ACM certificate:

module "acm" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/acm/aws"

  validate_certificate = false
  # ... omitted
}

Notes

• For use in an automated pipeline consider setting the wait_for_validation = false to avoid waiting for validation to complete or error after a 45 minute timeout.
• domain_name can not be wildcard, but subject_alternative_names can include wildcards.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
create_certificate	Whether to create ACM certificate	string	"true"	no
domain_name	A domain name for which the certificate should be issued	string	""	no
subject_alternative_names	A list of domains that should be SANs in the issued certificate	list	[]	no
tags	A mapping of tags to assign to the resource	map	{}	no
validate_certificate	Whether to validate certificate by creating Route53 record	string	"true"	no
validation_method	Which method to use for validation. DNS or EMAIL are valid, NONE can be used for certificates that were imported into ACM and then into Terraform.	string	"DNS"	no
wait_for_validation	Whether to wait for the validation to complete	string	"true"	no
zone_id	The ID of the hosted zone to contain this record.	string	""	no

Outputs

Name	Description
this_acm_certificate_arn	The ARN of the certificate
this_acm_certificate_domain_validation_options	A list of attributes to feed into other resources to complete certificate validation. Can have more than one element, e.g. if SANs are defined. Only set if DNS-validation was used.
this_acm_certificate_validation_emails	A list of addresses that received a validation E-Mail. Only set if EMAIL-validation was used.
