+# Complete ACM example with EMAIL validation with validation_domain configured
+
+Configuration in this directory creates new Route53 zone and ACM certificate (valid for the domain name and wildcard).
+
+ACM certificate will be created with EMAIL validation method, which means that emails will be send to domain owners and it is not possible to automate using Terraform!
+The validation domain option is set, which overrides the domain to which validation emails will be sent.
+
+If you want to use EMAIL validation method make sure that you have access to at least one of these emails in your domain:
+
+```
+hostmaster@VALIDATION_DOMAIN
+postmaster@VALIDATION_DOMAIN
+admin@VALIDATION_DOMAIN
+administrator@VALIDATION_DOMAIN
+webmaster@VALIDATION_DOMAIN
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+To run this example you need to execute:
+
+```bash
+$ terraform init
+$ terraform plan -var 'domain_name=foo.bar.com' -var 'validation_domain=bar.com'
+$ terraform apply -var 'domain_name=foo.bar.com' -var 'validation_domain=bar.com'
+```
+
+Note that this example may create resources which cost money. Run `terraform destroy` when you don't need these resources.
