I have been trying to set up my AWS SSL certificate for several days now, and nothing I have done has gotten me that lovely little lock in the upper right corner, anybody know what they are doing with this. Also I am using google domains.
It can take few minutes to couple of hours to verify the domain by AWS Certificate Manager. After certificate issue and once you point the certificate with load balancer, you are good to go, no need to wait. Also, make sure the url in browser should start with "https" and not "http"
There is a lot to AWS so the answer will depend on how you are trying to configure your setup.
If you are pointing the A record for your domain directly to a single EC2 instance then LetsEncrypt would be a good route to go down (https://letsencrypt.org). The EC2 instance is effectively just a standalone server so there is nothing to stop you using non-AWS services.
If you are using CloudFront in front of your EC2 instance then Amazon's Certificate Manager is an easier route to go down (just remember to create the certificate in the us-east-1 otherwise you can't select it in the CloudFront configuration).
If you are managing your own server I can’t recommend https://letsencrypt.org / https://certbot.eff.org enough
I am with AWS
As you are using AWS Certificate Manager, below steps may help you:
Thanks so much man! How long will it take to get the SSL lock on my website.

it has neither. It still is not SSL secured.
Hi Andrew. Are you using Elastic Beanstalk in your setup? I may be able to help if you are.

I usually use https://aws.amazon.com/certificate-manager/ when I'm on AWS. Have you tried it?
Yes, that is what i am using but I cannot find out what I did wrong
