I have my domain managed by Godaddy which I want to point to AWS/EC2. My domain name validates fine. I have a wildcard subdomain definition that is also says it is successfully validated but when I test it using dig +short it is not going through. I then created another certificate for a specific subdomain that shows ‘Pending Validation’.

Here is with an example:

First certificate that I created with the two following domains:

abc.com
*.abc.com

Added the CNAME in Godaddy and it validated successfully from ACM. I am able to validate it using dig +short. But I am not able to validate with a subdomain say, blog.abc.com

Then I created blog.abc.com and added it to the Cname on Godaddy. It stays on pending validation.

What should I do to point blog.abc.com to the ip address of EC2?

Note: I have not setup a Route 53 or a load balancer at this time. I am not sure if that is a requirement here.
