I have a react website that I am hosting using an S3 bucket. I purchased my domain through Google and configured Route 53 so that the domain would navigate to my bucket. (Instructions that I followed: here. I am now trying to add an SSL cert so that it will no longer be "not secure".
I went to AWS to the certification manager and created a cert. After creating it, I was prompted to "send the cert to Route 53" and thought "Could it be this easy?". The answer is no.
That is as far as I have gotten. I see some mentions in other questions of Cloudfront which I know nothing about and wanted to avoid researching something I may not need.
What are my next steps?
