Providing public cloud infrastructures Amazon Web Services today announced the launch of AWS Certificate Manager, a service that developers can use for Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for free websites.
These certificates shall indicate the browser (which in turn means that end users) in case of a connection to a site is encrypted and secure. Several companies sell these certificates, but AWS intends to do so for free. The tool can also deploy, manage and renew certificates for websites.
For now, the service is only available to region Popular AWS 'US (Northern Virginia), the head of AWS Evangelist Jeff Barr wrote in a blog. Other regions will support the tool in the future, Barr wrote.
This is a feature that could help companies no longer use the Amazon cloud to start using it once and for all. Amazon offers many things - Database Software, a tool for business intelligence services, file sharing, email service work, and of course raw computing, storage and network resources for custom applications to operate . Now company TLS / SSL can also go through Amazon, with certificates themselves for nothing.
This may help Amazon is further distinguished from other public clouds like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and IBM SoftLayer.
These clouds are constantly trying to catch up with AWS. AWS recently took the video encoding technology through its acquisition of Elemental Technologies, today, IBM announced it had acquired the company UStream video streaming.
