Use cloud key management for automated certificate deployment

Cloud key management integrations allow certificates and private keys to be stored and managed in external key management systems. Automated deployment with cloud key management maintains centralized control over certificate storage and simplifies lifecycle management.

Automated deployment with cloud key management performs the following actions:

  • Request a certificate from CertCentral

  • Store the certificate and private key in the key management system

  • Renew the certificate automatically before expiration

  • Deploy the renewed certificate to associated services

Supported cloud key management integrations:

  • Microsoft Azure Key Vault
