You’re right, but it’s pretty simple to slap CloudFront (or Cloudflare) ahead of those origins if you need to in a pinch. I don’t work for Amazon (and have no dog in the fight) but I am a fan of AWS. And if you’re ever using AWS for anything, there’s no reason to _not_ use their free certs.

Someone else mentioned Azure having a similar offering (I’ve never played with Azure so I can’t speak to it). And if 2/3 of the providers offer it, I’d imagine GCP will at some point as well.

I love how easy it’s becoming to launch SSL. LetsEncrypt did a lot to make it mainstream. I’ve never used LE but I am grateful for their impact on our industry.
