I'm trying to obtain an SSL certificate for my domain using AWS Certificate Manager, but it's been 4 days and the status is still showing 'pending validation.' Is this a usual scenario? Thanks for any insights!

Have you added the required DNS records for validation? If you're using Route 53, make sure you've pressed 'create record' after entering the details. Missing that step could be holding up the process!
Yes, I've created the CNAME record in Route 53, so I think I'm doing that part right. I'm still pretty new to AWS, so I might be overlooking something.
It's not typical for it to take that long. Just double-check that you've completed all the necessary steps for validation. AWS has detailed guidance on domain ownership validation, so it might be worth reviewing that through their documentation.
Oops, I just realized I forgot to press create record in Route 53! Thanks for pointing that out!
