Find ARN for ACM certificate for a given domain name

gistfile1.txt

aws acm us-east-1 list-certificates --query CertificateSummaryList[].[CertificateArn,DomainName] \
  --output text | grep example.com | cut -f1

Nicely done

Thanks for the gist!

Here's a version with the JMESPath query that adds --region and --profile flags.

aws acm list-certificates --query "CertificateSummaryList[?DomainName=='example.com'].CertificateArn" --output text --region us-east-1 --profile default

In terms of writing a script I think you almost certainly want to specify the --region because this is so important for ACM certificates. For example, all CloudFront certificates must be in us-east-1, meanwhile you might have other resources in other regions.

If you omit the --region AWS will fallback to default and this could vary between users / AWS environments.

Thanks for the pure JMESPath verison!

I'd suggest that you use the AWS_REGION and AWS_PROFILE variables to handle this - it allows the same script to be used across multiple regions and accounts.
