Problems encountered

I am running an application that only trusts the minimum necessary Root Certificate Authorities.
To verify certificates issued by ACM, where can I download the issuing certificate authority's certificates?

Solution

You can download them from the Amazon Trust Services Repository (English)

https://www.amazontrust.com/repository/

Public Certificates issued through AWS Certificate Manager are issued by an Amazon-managed certificate authority called Amazon Trust Services. If the client needs the Amazon Trust Services certificates, they can be downloaded from the Amazon Trust Services Repository

However, ACM Certificates are already trusted by most browsers, operating systems, and applications. In principle, it is therefore not necessary to install the certificate authority certificates.## Reference Articles
