Automate certificate issuance at cloud scale

Industries / Cloud Infrastructure & CDN

Cloud infrastructure faces certificate complexity at a scale no other industry does

Certificate lifetimes are shrinking toward 47 days

Renewal frequency makes manual processes impossible

Multi-tenant issuance must scale to millions

ACME at production scale with no rate limits is essential

Customers expect platform-branded certificates

Default CA branding makes your platform look like a third-party reseller

Internal service mesh requires private PKI

Public TLS alone can't secure internal service-to-service traffic

Compliance is broad and layered

SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, GDPR all apply

SSL.com in Cloud Infrastructure & CDN workflows

Automated TLS provisioning for millions of domains

A global CDN issues and renews public TLS for millions of customer domains via SSL.com ACME with no rate limits. Automation absorbs hundreds of thousands of daily renewals; hostname provisioning scales without human intervention.

Platform-branded certificates

A hosting provider deploys a Custom-Branded Issuing CA under SSL.com’s public trust anchor. Customer certificates show “Issued by: ExampleHost”. The platform’s brand replaces the CA’s throughout the trust chain.

Internal mTLS for distributed infrastructure

Edge nodes authenticate with origin servers and each other using Private Enterprise PKI from SSL.com. mTLS between services uses a dedicated trust anchor, separate from public TLS; air-gapped and sovereignty-compliant options available.

SOC 2 audit-ready PKI

Private Compliance PKI provides WebTrust-audited internal PKI operations for SOC 2 Type II evidence. Centralized certificate lifecycle controls, revocation, and renewal records produce the audit evidence SOC 2 engagements expect.

Code signing for cloud tooling

A platform signs its CLI binary, server agent, and container images with EV Code Signing from SSL.com. Customers verify every download cryptographically; SmartScreen reputation reduces install friction.

Why cloud infrastructure providers choose SSL.com

No ACME rate limits

SSL.com ACME implementation is production-ready with no rate-limit barriers: cloud platforms can issue and renew certificates for hundreds of thousands of customers without throttling.

Custom-Branded Issuing CA

Dedicated intermediate CA issued under SSL.com’s public trust anchor with your platform’s name on the issuer chain. Customer-facing certificates carry your brand, not a third-party CA.

WebTrust for CA, BR SSL

Annual BDO audits covering CA operations, Baseline Requirements SSL, and Network Security. Independent assurance that SSL.com infrastructure meets global trust program requirements.

Unified REST API

SSL.com Web Services API provides programmatic access across every certificate type: one integration for public TLS, code signing, S/MIME, and client authentication.

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSMs

Certified hardware security modules at FIPS 140-2 Level 3 protect root and intermediate CA private keys: the same protection profile required by government cloud procurement programs.

In operation since 2002

Over two decades of continuous public CA operations through every major browser root program, ballot change, and compliance transition. Proven infrastructure at cloud scale.
