Certificate Manager
Certificate Manager is a cloud-based service that automates the provisioning, deployment, and management of SSL/TLS certificates for securing websites and applications. It simplifies the lifecycle of digital certificates, including issuance, renewal, and revocation, often integrating with cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. This tool helps ensure secure communications by handling the complexities of certificate authority (CA) interactions and compliance.
Developers should use Certificate Manager when deploying web applications that require HTTPS encryption, as it automates certificate management and reduces manual errors. It is particularly valuable in cloud-native environments, microservices architectures, and DevOps pipelines where scalability and security are critical, such as for e-commerce sites, APIs, or internal services. Learning it enhances skills in cloud security and infrastructure automation.
