CDK deploy fails

[gytelek]

I am trying to create the environment of the workshop in eu-central-1. Fixed some issues in cdk_app.py and static_site_construct.py (listed in an other issue). The application starts to create the stack however it fails with this error message:

28/99 | 3:32:46 PM | CREATE_FAILED | AWS::CloudFront::Distribution | StaticSite/SiteDistribution/CFDistribution (StaticSiteSiteDistributionCFDistribution500D676B) The specified SSL certificate doesn't exist, isn't in us-east-1 region, isn't valid, or doesn't include a valid certificate chain.

I assume the problem is that it tries to use the ssl certificate in us-east-1 which is available in eu-central-1. I configured Region=eu-central-1 in config.json and fixed the constant in cdk_app.py. I cannot find any other occurence of "us-east-" in the sources but the application seems to get this information from somewhere.

The error is due to the certificate not being in the us-east-1 region. This is a requirement for CloudFront distributions using HTTPS. Closing this out as we're tracking in issue #11 this and the potential OAI changes.
