aws_certificatemanager: validating certificate cross account

[andreprawira]

Describe the bug

I have 2 accounts, standard and gov cloud. What i'm trying to do is to create a public hosted zone in standard account and generate a public certificate in gov cloud. I will validate the certificate by bringing its CNAME to the hosted zone. However, i'm confused how can i export the hosted zone id cross account.

Below is the hosted zone stack code

class HostedZoneStack(Stack):
    def __init__(
        self, scope: Construct, construct_id: str,  **kwargs
    ) -> None:
        super().__init__(scope, construct_id, **kwargs)

        # Creating hosted zone
        hosted_zone = route53.HostedZone(
            self,
            "hosted-zone",
            zone_name="dev.keren.com",
        )

        # Creating parameter store to store hosted zone id 
        ssm.StringParameter(
            self,
            "hosted-zone-id",
            string_value=hosted_zone.hosted_zone_id,
            parameter_name="hosted-zone-id",
        )

Below is the acm stack code

class AcmStack(Stack):
    def __init__(
        self, scope: Construct, construct_id: str, **kwargs
    ) -> None:
        super().__init__(scope, construct_id, **kwargs)

        hosted_zone_id = ssm.StringParameter.from_string_parameter_name(
            self, "hosted-zone-id", string_parameter_name="hosted-zone-id"
        ).string_value

        # Importing hosted zone
        hosted_zone = route53.HostedZone.from_hosted_zone_attributes(
            self, "hosted-zone", hosted_zone_id=hosted_zone_id, zone_name="dev.keren.com"
        )

        # Creating a public certificate
        acm_cert = acm.Certificate(
            self,
            "cloudfront-certificate",
            domain_name="dev.keren.com",
            validation=acm.CertificateValidation.from_dns(hosted_zone),
        )

The problem with the code now is that it the parameter store that holds the hosted zone id is generated in standard account and i dont know how to read it from the gov cloud account. Any idea how can i do that or if theres a better method? Thanks
