    Good, certificates should be automated anyways. Much more reliable than the once yearly outages because nobody renewed the thing or forgot some systems.

      Good, certificates should be automated anyways.

      The problem being when that can’t be easily automated? Did you read the article?

        Good incentive for the provider to fix it or go out of business.

        They should be automated too.

        The fact that I can’t use terraform to automatically deploy certs to network appliances is a problem.

          Technically, you shouldn’t even deploy certs to network appliances or servers but they should fetch certificates automatically from a vault. I know there’s minimal support for such things right now, but that should be fixed by vendors.

          Even Microsoft supports such solutions in Azure both with PaaS components and Windows and Linux servers (in Azure or onprem) via extensions
