AWS Certificate Manager Information Reviews & Insights

We're using AWS Certificate Manager to Issue, renew and manage SSL Certificates in AWS Cloud. It was difficult for us to use SSL Certificates issues by third-party vendors and implement SSL on AWS Services. AWS Certificate Manager made it easier using it we can easily implement SSL on all other AWS Services such as EC2, ELB, CloudFront, Lambda, etc.

If you're using AWS extensively and your workloads are deployed on top of managed AWS services and you require SSL implementation then it's highly recommended to use it and also it's free of cost AWS doesn't charge a penny for AWS Certificate Manager. Limited to AWS only, Certificates issued by ACM can be used with AWS managed services only you can't use certificates outside AWS this is the only drawback.

We use AWS Certificate Manager in our team to set up secure https website to our product pages. Using Certificate Manager we get the SSL certificates and manage them in a better and simpler manner. We have not tried any other approach to get an SSL certificate.

AWS Certificate Manager works with any domain, even non-AWS provided domains. It is an easy and fast way of setting up your secure application website. If you follow the steps properly, like the validation steps wherein you have to add a rout53 entry manually in order to get your domain validated, it will not take much time to get your certificate.
