Stuck on creating certificate for my AWS domain #33

In case, you are using a top-level domain like cloudonaut.io as the DomainName for your Mastodon instance, you need to modify the name servers for your domain. See Adding or changing name servers and glue records for a domain in case you are using Route 53 to register domains.

I have a domain that's being hosted on AWS that I purchased specifically to host an instance on. The CloudFormation Certification task is hanging, and I'm having a hard time figuring out the correct configuration.

My issue is that before running the CloudFormation I already had a HostedZone for the top level domain. The CloudFormation task generated a new HostedZone that duplicated the A, NS, and SOA records that Route53 auto generated. I tried updating the NS record to match the name servers that are in Route53's registered domains, and the SOA to match. Not sure how long this should take to resolve, or if there's something I'm missing.

I have been doing a little more digging, and found that I'm having issues with all the DNS records propagating. The NS records aren't available at all for the domain, and I'm attempting to lower the TTL and refresh windows to clear it out
