Deploying Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates Across the Enterprise

We will detail how we automated deployment and maintenance of free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates throughout our environment for managed web servers, load balancers, and application keystores. We have increased instances of secure web servers while simultaneously decreasing costs both for certificate purchases and for labor required to create, renew, and deploy certificates.

Outcomes: Identify contributors to the cost of using SSL certificates * Understand the benefit of using certificates from a trusted certificate authority (CA) * Learn methods for automating request, deployment, and renewal of Let's Encrypt certificates in several application areas where SSL certificates are used to secure information transmittal
