AWS: imported SSL certificate not showing up in CloudFront

I had a case where I already had an SSL certificate selected, and when I clicked on the dropdown it only showed the selected one.

Turns out that Amazon doesn't like UX because it is not a normal dropdown it is a "searchable" dropdown. Meaning if you have a certificate selected, it will only show that specific certificate because it is also searching it in the dropdown.

Clicking on it and deleting the name reveals the rest of the certificates.

See below examples:

UX.

Where are my certificates?

Oh...

There is no problem using a certificate with multiple endpoints, whether they're ELBs, ALBs, or Cloudfront distributions.

However, if you want to use an ACM cert for Cloudfront, the cert must be issued in us-east-1.

Note

To use an ACM Certificate with CloudFront, you must request or import the certificate in the US East (N. Virginia) region.
