We will now update our deploy-infra.sh script to retrieve the certificate ARN. This should go at the top of the script, and depends on the DOMAIN environment variable.

Shell
DOMAIN=the-good-parts.com
CERT=`aws acm list-certificates --region $REGION --profile awsbootstrap --output text \
        --query "CertificateSummaryList[?DomainName=='$DOMAIN'].CertificateArn | [0]"`

Line #3: Newly added environment variable holding our certificate.

We then have to pass the certificate ARN as a parameter to main.yml.

Shell
# Deploy the CloudFormation template
echo -e "\n\n=========== Deploying main.yml ==========="
aws cloudformation deploy \
  --region $REGION \
  --profile $CLI_PROFILE \
  --stack-name $STACK_NAME \
  --template-file ./cfn_output/main.yml \
  --no-fail-on-empty-changeset \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM \
  --parameter-overrides \
    EC2InstanceType=$EC2_INSTANCE_TYPE \
    Domain=$DOMAIN \
    Certificate=$CERT \ 
    GitHubOwner=$GH_OWNER \
    GitHubRepo=$GH_REPO \
    GitHubBranch=$GH_BRANCH \
    GitHubPersonalAccessToken=$GH_ACCESS_TOKEN \
    CodePipelineBucket=$CODEPIPELINE_BUCKET

Line #13: The certificate ARN.

We also have to add this as a parameter in the main.yml template. ...
