Adding a CNAME entry to a naked domain

I'm using Amazons AWS certificate manager to create some SSL/TLS certificates for a domain.

I want three variants of the domain name covered by the certificate:

  1. Standard domain
  2. Naked domain
  3. Wildcard domain (for sub domains etc)

I need to validate these domains via a DNS update. Specifically a CNAME update. My DNS configuration is currently with GoDaddy and pointed to AWS via an A-record.

I've added the CNAME name and value for the standard domain verification and this went through as expected, however I have no idea how to update the naked and wildcard variants.

Firstly, not related to DNS validation, *.my4seasons.com will protect www.my4seasons.com. So you can request the certificate for the apex domain my4seasons.com and the wildcard domain *.my4seasons.com .

Now, the DNS CNAME and value for the apex domain and wildcard domain should be same and you should add the CNAME and the value for these same as another record in GoDaddy as you did for www.my4seasons.com .
