Apparently I can choose from either 1) AWS Certificate Manager and 2) AWS Identity and Access Management

enter image description here

What are the pro and con for these two options?

And when the certificate is expired, how can I updated associated certificate for the load balancer?

with ACM, Amazon is the CA. So you create a SSL cert with ACM and Amazon will issue you a cert that you can use on ELB/Cloudfront. THe benefit is Amazon will auto-renew the cert for you.

with IAM, you purchase the cert and upload the cert, key and maybe chain if needed. The benefit is you can use the cert anywhere you need to but you need to make sure you renew.
