SES verified identity of type Domain via CDK

Question

Hi team!

is there a way to create/validate a domain identity in SES via CDK,

on  the CSK documentation, I only found `EmailIdentity` construct

> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ses-readme.html#email-identity

should I use a custom construct?

I want to create an SES verified identity of type Domain via CDK code.

Thank you!

Answer

Hi,

The `EmailIdentity` construct applies to both email addresses and domains.
Assuming you would like to verify a domain identity that has its DNS hosted in Route53, you can leverage the example in the CDK documentation you referenced which results in all the records for that domain being created in Route53:

```
declare const myHostedZone: route53.IPublicHostedZone;

const identity = new ses.EmailIdentity(stack, 'Identity', {
  identity: ses.Identity.publicHostedZone(myHostedZone),
  mailFromDomain: 'mail.cdk.dev',
});
```
Email identity : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ses-readme.html#email-identity
