Amazon Issued SSL Certificate but not in use

0

I was able to get an Amazon SSL issued and approved, however when I am in the Certificate screen, it shows it is issued but "not in use". How do I deploy this to be in use (unfortunately we no longer have the same tech team we had when building out and we are trying to make sure our site stays secure)?

I thought it would automatically be applied since we host as well through AWS and then we had the SSL issued inside AWS, but it seems there may be more steps involved to have this work. Our hosting is inside the EC2 service.

Thank you for your help!

This just means the cert is in-date and available to be associated with an AWS service that can use ACM certs, but is not currently associated with any service.

A list of such services can be found here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/acm-services.html

Although I note you mention that:

Our hosting is inside the EC2 service.

ACM certs cannot be used directly with webserver software running on an EC2 instance, it requires a loadblancer or CloudFront to be put in front of the EC2 instance https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/configure-acm-certificates-ec2
