Ask HN: How are you preparing for upcoming short-lived SSL renewals?
Any new tools or services or saas you are exploring?
Every company have myraid of requirements and stuff.
Anyone building new solution?

I built https://SSLboard.com to manage your certificates at any scale and see what’s deployed, where and how. It’s using Certificate Transparency to inventory your certificates so it requires minimal input but provides a complete audit of deployed certificates.
Automation isn't enough: qualys.com (famous for SSLLabs.com) is currently serving an expired certificate (expired 8 days ago). They know their job very well, but without a tool to thoroughly and systematically inventory your certificates, you'll miss it.

Not building anything but I'm helping other teams work on their automation to improve rotation processes.
A surprising number of Ops colleagues have almost zero exposure to IaC and the short-lived certificates on the horizon has been the necessary catalyst to change this.

What are you using for automation? Blend of terraform , ansible?
Yes, mostly those two. Many staff didn't know the systems had an API as they don't really have much development experience - just a long career in clickops/Windows.
Only now are their roles morphing to include programming and, understandably, it's occasionally a daunting steep learning curve for them.

Wow, I love the vibe the voting by companies give. Could see this kind of governance expand to other areas.
