Is it possible to use acm.getCertificate() from another region? I have an application being deployed in eu-west-1 but it's deploying a cloudfront distribution which is global obviously. The cloudfront distribution requires the arn of a certificate in us-east-1. getCertificate() defaults to the region the stack is running in and doesn't take a provider arg. the certificate in us-east-1 is owned by something else so i can't import it into this stack (as far as my understanding goes) all i need is the arn for it. any thoughts on how might i go about this?

try to create region provider

// ACM certificates MUST be created in the us-east-1 region
const usEastProvider = new aws.Provider("us-east-provider", {
    region: "us-east-1",
});

and pass it to all cert-related operations like

{ provider: usEastProvider }

should work in

getCertificate

,

certificateValidation

.. at least worked for me

getCertificate doesn't take a provider arg

right, documentation is poor in ACM glad that worked
