Amazon Certificate Manager

Amazon Certificate Manager

Easily provision, manage, and deploy public SSL/TLS certificates for use with Amazon, hybrid, and multicloud workloads

Overview

Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM) is a service that lets you easily provision, manage, and deploy public Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates. SSL/TLS certificates are used to secure network communications and establish the identity of websites over the Internet as well as resources on private networks. You can use these certificates to securely terminate traffic on any compute workload that requires a certificate, including those running on EC2 instances, containers, on-premises hosts, and Amazon Web Services services. Amazon Certificate Manager removes the time-consuming manual process of purchasing, uploading, and renewing SSL/TLS certificates.

With Amazon Certificate Manager, you can quickly request a certificate, deploy it on ACM-integrated Amazon Web Services resources, such as Elastic Load Balancers and APIs on API Gateway, and let Amazon Certificate Manager handle certificate renewals. Public certificates provisioned through Amazon Certificate Manager for use with ACM-integrated services are at no additional cost. If you issue an exportable public certificate, there is a charge at certificate issuance and again when the certificate renews.

Benefits

Get Certificates Easily

Amazon Certificate Manager removes many of the time-consuming and error-prone steps to acquire an SSL/TLS certificate for your website or application. There is no need to generate a key pair or certificate signing request (CSR), submit a CSR to a Certificate Authority, or upload and install the certificate once received. With a few clicks in the Amazon Web Services Management Console, you can request a trusted SSL/TLS certificate from Amazon Web Services. Once the certificate is created, Amazon Certificate Manager takes care of deploying certificates to help you enable SSL/TLS for your website or application.

Get low-cost certificates for use beyond integrated Amazon Web Services services

Protect workloads running on your EC2 instances, containers, on-premises hosts, and Amazon Web Services services.

Free Public Certificates for ACM-Integrated Services

With Amazon Certificate Manager, there is no additional charge for provisioning public SSL/TLS certificates you use with ACM-integrated services, such as Elastic Load Balancing and API Gateway. You pay for the Amazon Web Services resources you create to run your application. 

Managed Certificate Renewal

Amazon Certificate Manager manages the renewal process for the certificates managed in ACM and used with ACM-integrated services, such as Elastic Load Balancing and API Gateway. ACM can automate renewal and deployment of these certificates.

Use Cases

Protect and Secure Your Website

SSL, and its successor TLS, are industry standard protocols for encrypting network communications and establishing the identity of websites over the Internet. SSL/TLS provides encryption for sensitive data in transit and authentication using SSL/TLS certificates to establish the identity of your site and secure connections between browsers and applications and your site. Amazon Certificate Manager provides an easy way to provision and manage these certificates so you can configure a website or application to use the SSL/TLS protocol.

Help Meet Compliance Requirements

By making it easy to enable SSL/TLS, Amazon Certificate Manager can help your organization meet regulatory and compliance requirements for encryption of data in transit. For specific information about compliance, refer to the Amazon Web Services China region Compliance site.

Improved Uptime

Amazon Certificate Manager helps manage the challenges of maintaining SSL/TLS certificates, including certificate renewals so you don’t have to worry about expiring certificates.
