Manage your certificates in Azure Key Vault directly from Certinite.
Microsoft Azure offers comprehensive cloud services including App Services, Application Gateways, and Azure Front Door for high-scale global application delivery. A key component of securing these resources is managing SSL/TLS certificates inside Azure Key Vault. However, manual management, import/export operations, and monitoring certificate expirations inside Key Vault key/secret containers can be extremely tedious and risk-prone.
When you have dozens of application endpoints, renewing certificates manually in the Azure Portal or using complex Azure CLI scripts combined with Local Task Schedulers poses massive challenges. A single forgotten certificate renewal or a misplaced connection configuration can lead to immediate downtime for your Front Door or Application Gateway resources, causing negative impact on user experience.
Why Azure SSL Automation with Certinite?
Certinite simplifies this by integrating directly with Azure Key Vault via Azure REST APIs and Service Principals. When a certificate is renewed (via Let's Encrypt, ZeroSSL, or commercial CAs), our control plane securely pushes the new certificate payload, including the full chain and private key, directly into the specified Azure Key Vault secret/certificate container.
This integration is completely agentless and secure, requiring no installation of local agents on your Azure VM instances. By utilizing Azure Service Principals with fine-grained access policies, Certinite only accesses the specific Key Vaults you designate. Azure Front Door and Application Gateway can then automatically pull the latest certificate version from the Key Vault, achieving zero-downtime rollover.
To relieve your cloud operations teams, standardize certificate workflows across multicloud fleets, and eliminate human error in your Microsoft Azure environment, try the automation capabilities offered by Certinite today.
