# AWS::ACMPCA::CertificateAuthorityActivation
<a name="aws-resource-acmpca-certificateauthorityactivation"></a>

The `AWS::ACMPCA::CertificateAuthorityActivation` resource creates and installs a CA certificate on a CA. If no status is specified, the `AWS::ACMPCA::CertificateAuthorityActivation` resource status defaults to ACTIVE. Once the CA has a CA certificate installed, you can use the resource to toggle the CA status field between `ACTIVE` and `DISABLED`.
