It requires an Enterprise Support Agreement to ask that kind of questions to the IIS / Azure Web App product team and I do not have that.

It super simple to buy and add a paid SSL certificate to your Azure Web Site, but a paid solutions is not the topic of this thread.

AWS has their own CA that issues free SSL certs for their customers for use with stuff like CloudFront, I don't see any reason Microsoft couldn't do the same if they're not willing to play nice with Let's Encrypt.


ohh I wasn't aware of the AWS had a free SSL cert solution. I don't see any reason as well why Microsoft doesn't provide a similar service for their customer.


Yeah it's pretty handy. It also does a lot of the auto-renewal stuff that certbot does for you if you're using Lets Encrypt. More info here https://aws.amazon.com/certificate-manager/?nc1=h_ls

Sounds like you're running the wrong web server for your needs, then. Every OSS web server has several methods for getting LE certificates implemented mostly by volunteers (my company implemented it in Virtualmin, both the OSS projects and commercial products, within a couple days of it being available, maybe even during the beta I don't recall exactly, and we're just a couple of developers), and you don't have to have an enterprise contract to make suggestions.
