Parameters

>> from AWS CloudFormation Documentation

Explanation in CloudFormation Registry

Use the AWS::ACMPCA::CertificateAuthority resource to create a private CA. Once the CA exists, you can use the AWS::ACMPCA::Certificate resource to issue a new CA certificate. Alternatively, you can issue a CA certificate using an on-premises CA, and then use the AWS::ACMPCA::CertificateAuthorityActivation resource to import the new CA certificate and activate the CA.

Note Before removing a AWS::ACMPCA::CertificateAuthority resource from the CloudFormation stack, disable the affected CA. Otherwise, the action will fail. You can disable the CA by removing its associated AWS::ACMPCA::CertificateAuthorityActivation resource from CloudFormation.
