ACM was unable to renew the certificate automatically using DNS validation. Next step verification.

Problem: AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) was unable to renew the certificate automatically using DNS validation. Site has been running for one year.

Fix: To renew this certificate, you must ensure that the proper CNAME records are present in your DNS configuration for each domain.

My setup:

• Purchased domain name through GoDaddy
• GoDaddy pointing at AWS NS
• Static HTML files hosted in web-enabled S3
• Using AWS Cloudfronts
• Using Route52 for hosted Zone
• Using AWS certificate manager for certs

I found the required CNAME name/value for each of the domains in ACM. I can see the Renewal Status is set to ‘Pending validation’ for each.

Hosted Zone currently includes; A, NS, SOA, records but no CNAME records.

Questions: Is my next step to add these CNAME name/value records to the ‘Records’ section of the Hosted Zone? Are there any changes I should make to the name/value strings, like removing period postfix? Is there anything else I will need to do?

Thank you for any assistance.
