2018/06/20 - AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority - 1 new 4 updated api methods
Changes CA Restore is a new feature within AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority (ACM PCA) that allows you to restore a private certificate authority that has been deleted. When you issue the DeleteCertificateAuthority call, you can now specify the number of days (7-30, with 30 being the default) in which the private certificate authority will remain in the DELETED state. During this time, the private certificate authority can be restored with the RestoreCertificateAuthority API call and then be returned to the PENDING_CERTIFICATE or DISABLED state, depending upon the state prior to deletion. Summary of API Changes: 1). Added RestoreCertificateAuthority API call; 2). Added optional PermanentDeletionTimeInDays parameter to DeleteCertificateAuthority API call. If this parameter is not specified, the DeleteCertificateAuthority API call will use a 30 day restore period as default.
Restores a certificate authority (CA) that is in the DELETED state. You can restore a CA during the period that you defined in the PermanentDeletionTimeInDays parameter of the DeleteCertificateAuthority operation. Currently, you can specify 7 to 30 days. If you did not specify a PermanentDeletionTimeInDays value, by default you can restore the CA at any time in a 30 day period. You can check the time remaining in the restoration period of a private CA in the DELETED state by calling the DescribeCertificateAuthority or ListCertificateAuthorities operations. The status of a restored CA is set to its pre-deletion status when the RestoreCertificateAuthority operation returns. To change its status to ACTIVE , call the UpdateCertificateAuthority operation. If the private CA was in the PENDING_CERTIFICATE state at deletion, you must use the ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate operation to import a certificate authority into the private CA before it can be activated. You cannot restore a CA after the restoration period has ended.

Request Syntax
client.restore_certificate_authority(
CertificateAuthorityArn='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that was returned when you called the CreateCertificateAuthority operation. This must be of the form:
arn:aws:acm-pca:region:account:certificate-authority/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
None
{'PermanentDeletionTimeInDays': 'integer'}
Deletes a private certificate authority (CA). You must provide the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the private CA that you want to delete. You can find the ARN by calling the ListCertificateAuthorities operation. Before you can delete a CA, you must disable it. Call the UpdateCertificateAuthority operation and set the CertificateAuthorityStatus parameter to DISABLED .
Additionally, you can delete a CA if you are waiting for it to be created (the Status field of the CertificateAuthority is CREATING ). You can also delete it if the CA has been created but you haven't yet imported the signed certificate (the Status is PENDING_CERTIFICATE ) into ACM PCA.
If the CA is in one of the aforementioned states and you call DeleteCertificateAuthority, the CA's status changes to DELETED . However, the CA won't be permentantly deleted until the restoration period has passed. By default, if you do not set the PermanentDeletionTimeInDays parameter, the CA remains restorable for 30 days. You can set the parameter from 7 to 30 days. The DescribeCertificateAuthority operation returns the time remaining in the restoration window of a Private CA in the DELETED state. To restore an eligable CA, call the RestoreCertificateAuthority operation.

Request Syntax
client.delete_certificate_authority(
CertificateAuthorityArn='string',
PermanentDeletionTimeInDays=123
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that was returned when you called CreateCertificateAuthority. This must have the following form:
arn:aws:acm-pca:region:account:certificate-authority/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 .
integer
The number of days to make a CA restorable after it has been deleted. This can be anywhere from 7 to 30 days, with 30 being the default.
None
{'CertificateAuthority': {'RestorableUntil': 'timestamp',
'Status': {'DELETED'}}}
Lists information about your private certificate authority (CA). You specify the private CA on input by its ARN (Amazon Resource Name). The output contains the status of your CA. This can be any of the following:
CREATING - ACM PCA is creating your private certificate authority.
PENDING_CERTIFICATE - The certificate is pending. You must use your on-premises root or subordinate CA to sign your private CA CSR and then import it into PCA.
ACTIVE - Your private CA is active.
DISABLED - Your private CA has been disabled.
EXPIRED - Your private CA certificate has expired.
FAILED - Your private CA has failed. Your CA can fail because of problems such a network outage or backend AWS failure or other errors. A failed CA can never return to the pending state. You must create a new CA.
DELETED - Your private CA is within the restoration period, after which it will be permanently deleted. The length of time remaining in the CA's restoration period will also be included in this operation's output.
