Renewing SSL security certs with Amazon's Certificate Manager
For those who followed my original post a year ago on how to get a site up with a static site generator, serverlessly, that is blazing fast, you’re going to need to renew your security certificate soon. This is how that’s done through Amazon Certificate Manager via Let’s Encrypt.
In truth, Amazon’s Certificate Manager (ACM) does a good job of taking something that used to be a painful, nail-biting, horrible experience around changing your web site’s SSL cert and makes it much easier. Especially if you’re running your own domain, ACM combined with the geniuses at Lets Encrypt , it’s now semi-painless (with a little knowledge) to secure your sites with SSL. It’s not obvious, however, how to change or renew once you’re set up, so we’ll doing the walkthrough.
