For the use of encrypted connections (HTTPS) a valid SSL certificate for the desired domains is necessary.

In the table below you find a comparison of certificates supplied by AWS and the offers of third parties. AWS certificates are limited in their use: they must be used with an AWS load balancer or the AWS Cloudfront CDN. AWS also does not supply Extended Validation (EV) certificates. On the upside AWS certificates are free and can be renewed automatically. There is no additional fee from root360 for the setup of an AWS certificate.

Root360 monitors all customer environments for certificate validity. We inform you as soon as the validity of any of your certificates is less than 30 days.

AWS certificates

Root360 handles the creation of the certificates with AWS. For this we need a list of the domains for which the certificate should be valid.

...

We will send you these DNS records (of type CNAME) that AWS generated, one for each domain.

They look like this:

_8edc0c37fa0f0de703fd4dc99df3336e.example.de.      CNAME    _4ac89c69d1d4c28a337d9e135caaed39.acm-validations.aws.

...

List of validation email adresses:

• administrator@your_domain

• hostmaster@your_domain

• postmaster@your_domain

• webmaster@your_domain

• admin@your_domain

The validation email contains a link that must be accessed to validate the certificate.

...

For some customers the initial setup of a certificate through email validation is less complicated. However, it creates work each time it needs to be renewed. That is why root360 recommends using DNS validation.
