AWS Certificate Manager

AWS Certificate Manager handles the lifecycle of SSL/TLS certificates, covering provisioning, management, and deployment across AWS services. It automates the renewal process and integrates directly with load balancers and CloudFront, removing the manual overhead of certificate installation and expiration tracking for standard web workloads.

This service suits teams already operating within the AWS ecosystem who need managed certificate handling without vendor lock-in complexities. The main friction point is the opaque pricing model, which requires contacting sales rather than offering transparent public rates or a free tier for small-scale testing, making cost estimation difficult before commitment.
