Effortless certificate management within cloud environment and cost-effective

Pros

"It is easy to generate, easy to use, easy to integrate, and very cost-effective."

Cons

"One potential improvement could be enabling the extraction of the certificate as a file to be used outside of AWS, even with an additional charge."

What is our primary use case?

Whenever there is a need for an application layer to use the HTTPS protocol, there is a need to have a certificate, specifically an SSL Certificate. AWS Certificate Manager can generate this certificate, but it must be used within AWS infrastructure. The solution is utilized either with a load balancer, CDN, which refers to AWS CloudFront, or directly on an EC2 instance.

What is most valuable?

It is easy to generate, easy to use, easy to integrate, and very cost-effective.

Effortlessly manage certificate alerts with robust integration potential

Pros

"The most valuable features are definitely the alerts. "

Cons

"Maybe more integration with third-party certificate authorities would be useful."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case is to provision and deploy public and private SSL certificates, which can be AWS services like web certificates for web application security, or connectivity to IoT devices. It helps with alerts when SSLs or TLS certificates are expiring and can be used to auto renew or auto provision certain certificates.

How has it helped my organization?

It's not necessarily something you can quantify, however, it just means that if it's working correctly, it's business as usual.
