CloudFront, S3 and AWS ACM (part2)

In this part of tutorial, it will be imported ACM. What is ACM? AWS ACM is AWS Certificate Manager.

We can use AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) to provision, manage, and deploy public and private SSL/TLS certificates for use with AWS services and your internal connected resources. ACM removes the time-consuming manual process of purchasing, uploading, and renewing SSL/TLS certificates. (source Amazon)

More about security and ACM you can find on AWS Amazon web page
