Creating an AWS Certificate Using CloudFormation

DevOps AWS
1

I want to create an Amazon certificate using cloudformation in different region.

Resources:
  MyCertificate:
    Type: 'AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate'
    Properties:
      DomainName: <http://abcd.com|abcd.com>
      ValidationMethod: DNS
      Tags:
        - Key: Name
          Value: MyCertificate```


Can I mention region into above cfn code, so that I don't need to mention it in cli command?

Resources:
  MyCertificate1:
    Type: 'AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate'
    Condition: stageName1
    Properties:
      DomainName: <http://abcd.com|abcd.com>
      ValidationMethod: DNS
      Tags:
        - Key: Name
          Value: MyCertificate1
  MyCertificate2:
    Type: 'AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate'
    Condition: stageName2
    Properties:
      DomainName: <http://abcd.com|abcd.com>
      ValidationMethod: DNS
      Tags:
        - Key: Name
          Value: MyCertificate2```


So I want to create MyCertificate1 in one region and MyCertificate2 in another. I don't want to add multiple conditions(combination of stage name & region name) to satisfy Condition.

You’d probably need to use Stack Sets for that: https://medium.com/superluminar/a-look-at-the-aws-cloudformation-stackset-resource-18ae0d89dfc6

stacks are deployed in one region at a time. so to create a certificate in multiple regions, you need to create the stack in multiple regions. how you do that depends on your deployment method - CLI: run two commands instead of one; CodePipeline: provide the region parameter; etc
