The record

Purpose: AWS Certificate Manager provisions, manages, and deploys public and private SSL/TLS certificates for AWS, hybrid, and multicloud workloads.
Certificate management: Certificates can be centrally managed from the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or ACM APIs, and their use can be audited through AWS CloudTrail logs.
Integrations: ACM integrates with Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon API Gateway, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and AWS CloudFormation for public certificates.
Key security: ACM uses AWS Key Management Service to help protect certificate private keys that it stores.
Third-party certificates: ACM allows customers to import third-party CA certificates and deploy them with Elastic Load Balancers, CloudFront, and APIs on API Gateway; importing certificates does not cost anything.
Notable quota: The default quota is 10 domain names per ACM certificate, and customers can request up to 100 domain names.
Who it is for: AWS says ACM can protect websites and applications and secure communication between connected resources such as servers, mobile and IoT devices, and applications.
AWS launch: Amazon Web Services says it launched in 2006.
Price from: Free
