The use of the open-source protocol Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME), an open source protocol that automates the process of obtaining and renewing certificates from a certificate authority (CA), is a popular choice for organizations seeking to streamline certificate management. ACME provides a standardized way for clients to automatically request and renew certificates from CA servers. This approach avoids manual processes that expose significant risks and disrupts critical systems, including service outages, downtime, and frustrated users. The ACME protocol can also issue alerts when problems arise, allowing IT teams to take immediate action. The guide explains the benefits of transitioning from manual processes to ACME-driven automation and offers a practical roadmap to ensure a smooth transition.
