AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 259

You are configuring a CloudFront distribution, and when you try to attach an SSL, you do not see your SSL listed. What is the most likely reason for this?

Answer options

• A. You must configure an https record in Route 53 first.
• B. Sometimes, it won't show, and you need to retrieve the ARN for the SSL and enter it manually.
• C. You requested an SSL for the wrong region.
• D. You didn't wait 48 hours after approving the SSL.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because SSL certificates are region-specific, and if you request one in a different region than your CloudFront distribution, it will not appear. Option A is incorrect as Route 53 configuration does not affect SSL visibility. Option B is misleading because while retrieving the ARN can be necessary, it doesn't address the region mismatch. Option D is also wrong; waiting 48 hours is not a requirement that would affect the SSL's visibility in this context.
