## IssueCertificate

* **Note**\
  The [IssueCertificate](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/latest/APIReference/API_IssueCertificate.html) operation requires you to specify a certificate template. This example uses the `EndEntityCertificate/V1` template. For information about all of the available templates, see [Understanding certificate templates](https://github.com/kevinslin/aws-reference-notes/blob/main/services/aws_private_certificate_authority/UsingTemplates.md).
