It _should_ be. I worked on the example in our examples and it worked without needing a manual step. Can you share your code?

I’ve had several reports in the last month of this taking over 2 hours in some cases

The timeout in the underlying Terraform provider is set to a lot lower than that - it’s unclear to me whether this is a service issue at AWS (which it feels like) or something else

<@UDEJ1F5SQ> Here’s the relevant snippet:
```
let ptCert = new aws.acm.Certificate("pt_certificate", {
  domainName: domainName,
  validationMethod: "DNS"
});

let ptCertValidation = new aws.acm.CertificateValidation(
  "pt_certificate_validation",
  {
    certificateArn: ptCert.arn
  }
);
```
I can dm the whole code if needed. <@UB8A66MPS> Well this instance, I don’t think the longer timeout would work, because when I went into the console, the button to create the DNS validation records had not been clicked, leading me to believe the option was never set upon Cert creation.

Which button did you have to click in the console?

FWIW, here's the code that works from our examples - <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-ts-static-website/index.ts#L86-L127>.

<@UDEJ1F5SQ> I see, it looks like you all create the route53 records manually, I thought that would be handled by setting `DNS` validation type, guess not.

Ah... no, I don't think that's the case. They must be created as well.

And by _manually_ you mean part of the Pulumi app. :slightly_smiling_face:
