How do I retrieve the private key for a certificate generated on AWS Certificate Manager?

Question

Someone purchased a wildcard certificate via AWS Certificate Manager for their domain name and I need to transfer it to Heroku for an app that uses a sub-domain of the domain na

Answer 1

You can't. That's one of the points of using AWS Certificate Manager: the private keys won't leave AWS infrastructure. You can't even use AWS Certificate Manager certs on EC2 today, only on specific services. More information here and here.
