Im following this tutorial to add HTTPS to my EC2 Elastic Beanstalk website:

https://medium.com/@jameshamann/configuring-your-elastic-beanstalk-app-for-ssl-9065ca091f49

I have modified my instance to run on a load balancer and created the certificate with DNS validation in AWS Certificate Manager. I entered my domain name, added the CNAME record to google domains as follows:

From AWS: Name: _XXXXXc0c9db9a6c9300e65f9XXXXXXXX.www.mydomainame.com.

Type: CNAME

Value: _XXXXX83f612f59e5b0568896XXXXXXXX.jfrzXXXXXX.acm-validations.aws.

In Google Domains I created a CNAME record as follows:

Name: _1084c0c9db9a6c9300e65f9ceXXXXXXX

Type: CNAME

Value: _XXXXXXXXX12f59e5b0568896XXXXXXX.jfrzfXXXXXX.acm-validations.aws.

The certificate never gets validated, I have waited for days and it even expired. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks!

What domain is your cert registered for?

It looks like you are saying AWS said the record should be _XXXXXc0c9db9a6c9300e65f9XXXXXXXX.www.mydomainame.com which means _XXXXXc0c9db9a6c9300e65f9XXXXXXXX needs to be added as a record under the subdomain of www.mydomainame.com

You may be adding the record under mydomainname.com and not under the www subdomain which is may be why it's not working.

I would suggest recreate the ACM create and creating a wildcard cert under the top level domain (e.g. *.mydomainame.com).
