Error error creating CloudFront Distribution InvalidViewerCertificate To add an alternate domain name CNAME to a CloudFront distribution you must attach a trusted certificate

Hi Guys,

I am trying to deploy one project to the S3 bucket using Terraform. But it is showing me the below error.

Error: error creating CloudFront Distribution: InvalidViewerCertificate: To add an alternate domain name (CNAME) to a CloudFront distribution, you must attach a trusted certificate that validates your authorization to use the domain name.

I am using the below code.

resource "aws_cloudfront_distribution" "cdn" {
  origin {
    origin_id   = var.domain
    domain_name = aws_s3_bucket.site.bucket_regional_domain_name
    custom_origin_config {
      http_port = 80
      https_port = 443
      origin_protocol_policy = "match-viewer"
      origin_ssl_protocols = ["TLSv1", "TLSv1.1", "TLSv1.2"]
    }
  }
  aliases = [var.domain]
  enabled             = true
  wait_for_deployment = false
  default_root_object = "index.html"
  custom_error_response {
      error_caching_min_ttl = 0
      error_code = 404
      response_code = 200
      response_page_path = "/index.html"
  }
  default_cache_behavior {
    allowed_methods  = ["GET", "HEAD", "OPTIONS"]
    cached_methods   = ["GET", "HEAD"]
    target_origin_id = var.domain
    forwarded_values {
      query_string = true
      cookies {
        forward = "none"
      }
    }
    viewer_protocol_policy = "allow-all"
    min_ttl                = 0
    default_ttl            = 3600
    max_ttl                = 86400
  }
  price_class = "PriceClass_100"
  restrictions {
    geo_restriction {
      restriction_type = "none"
    }
  }
  viewer_certificate {
    cloudfront_default_certificate = true
  }
}

Hi@akhtar,

If you want to use the default certificate you will not add alternate domain names to the CloudFront distribution, you will need to generate an SSL certificate using Amazon certificate manager. In other words, to make this work you need to comment out aliases = [var.domain] in the CloudFront config part.
