You can also request certificates as part of the CloudFormation stack. This is great for ensuring each of your resources has a specific certificate, unique to each deployment.

Here is a sample snippet of CloudFormation YAML to create a certificate, similar to the preceding example in this recipe:

Resources: 
  MyCertificate: 
    Type: "AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate" 
    Properties: 
      DomainName: <your-domain>
