Overview

Product Information on AWS Certificate Manager

Updated 13th October 2025

What is AWS Certificate Manager?

AWS Certificate Manager is a software that facilitates the management, provisioning, and deployment of digital SSL or TLS certificates. The software automates the process of renewing, deploying, and tracking certificates for websites and applications that run on Amazon Web Services infrastructure. AWS Certificate Manager helps organizations secure network communications and establish the identity of websites over the internet as well as resources on private networks. It handles tasks such as certificate creation, validation, and lifecycle management, aiming to reduce the manual effort required for managing security certificates and to address business challenges related to web security and regulatory compliance.

AWS Certificate Manager Pricing

AWS Certificate Manager software applies a pricing model that charges for certificates provisioned for use outside of Amazon Web Services and for private certificates issued through its private certificate authority. Public certificates for use within AWS services are available at no additional cost, while private certificates incur charges based on the number issued and managed.

    Solid certificate management within AWS, but imported certificate handling and compliance within ecosystem

    5.0
    Jul 30, 2026
    AWS Certificate Manager was used specifcally for provisioning and managing certificates for our AWS client VPN configuration. The platform handled certificate issuance and deployment smoothly with the AWS ecosystem, though visibility and compliance tracking outside of native AWS services required additional tooling to achieve the level of oversight we needed.
