Accepted Answer

Hi Java-LTJ

TLS certificates generated by AWS Certificate Manager are free, but can only be used on AWS services.

There is a related service called AWS Private Certificate Manager which will charge for the certificate authority itself on a monthly basis $400 or $50 if in short-lived mode. These certificates are meant to be used for internal applications and would not be trusted by browsers unless the CA certificate is installed in them. This would not be what you would be using for a public website.

If you have further questions, feel free to ask! If I have satisfactorily answered your question please mark the answer as accepted.

Answer

If you want to install a certificate on your server consider using letsencrypt. AWS Certificate manager certificates can only be used by AWS services and can't be exported to install on ec2 instance or lightsail.

The private certificates are usually used internally and not what you need for your website.
