    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.
