Automation has transformed certificate lifecycle tasks and saves significant operational time
Recently, every customer must have seen that AWS has added their feature or support for public CA signed certificates, allowing you to use AWS signed certificates for your applications hosted on the internet. Earlier that support was not there, and when we compare the cost of the AWS provided certificates with other vendors, they are very much cheaper, almost 20% to 25% of the costs of others. Many customers have started moving to AWS provided public certificates. However, I do not see that AppViewX CERT+ currently supports AWS public CA for certificate integration and automation, which is something they can add. I believe their engineering team is already working on it, and I am still waiting for their update.

Automated certificate management has strengthened security and reduced operational overhead
There is always room for improvement for every product and service, and one aspect I can identify is the need for enhanced automation, especially for complex enterprise-scale renewal workflows, along with the need to expand integration capabilities for hybrid cloud environments, which is crucial for AWS Certificate Manager.The user interface of AWS Certificate Manager can definitely be designed to cater to complex integration capabilities, especially for hybrid cloud environments, making it easier for both senior and junior engineers to work easily. A modernized UI would streamline certificate lifecycle management along with clearer documentation, which is crucial for complex deployments and troubleshooting.
