I can't find the earlier forum thread about this (and I've searched for it), but I remember that someone had proposed that there should be a more aggressive duplicate certificates limit with a 1-hour or 1-day reset, so that people would hit it much sooner when doing a wasteful reissuance (and hopefu…

Yep, that one! I feel like the frequency of people hitting rate limits because of ephemeral instances has been increasing. So, if my perception is right, I feel like this proposal is increasing in relevance with time.

I'm perhaps wandering off topic but I've long felt that ephemeral instances (and many more permanent internal systems) shouldn't really be acquiring certs from the CA directly (especially if DNS validation is involved) and instead should be going via centralised cert management so that fancy validat…

Thanks! In the first instance I'm going for trivial download from a known API using pre-shared app/service specific credentials/tokens (likely with an option for mutual tls if API requests could happen over the public internet).

Thanks for your insights Jonathan, your project is incredibly sophisticated, I think I'm pitching at a simpler level overall :slight_smile: - nice work!

Thanks! We are definitely aimed at completely different use cases -- my project is aimed at simplifying "internet scale" deployments like PAAS, SAAS, Whitelabel Tools, etc and programmatic usage. The UX is an afterthought, for bugfixing. It is overkill for 99.9% of use cases, which is why I even …
