About
AWS Certificate Manager is a managed service for provisioning, deploying, and renewing SSL/TLS certificates across AWS, hybrid, and multicloud environments. It helps organizations secure traffic for websites, applications, and connected workloads without the operational overhead of manually managing certificate lifecycles.
The service is designed to simplify certificate issuance and ongoing maintenance for teams running workloads on EC2 instances, containers, on-premises hosts, and integrated AWS services. It also supports managed renewal and private key protection using AWS security and key management practices.
- Provision public and private SSL/TLS certificates
- Deploy certificates for AWS, hybrid, and multicloud workloads
- Automate certificate renewal for Amazon-issued certificates
- Integrate with services such as CloudFront, Elastic Load Balancing, and API Gateway
- Support secure traffic termination for websites and applications
Free Tier Value
The pricing page states that non-exportable public certificates are at no additional cost, and the first 10,000 export-certificate API calls per account each month are also free. Because the free tier is explicitly capped for API calls and the always-free certificate type is not unbounded across all certificate types, the conservative monthly free-tier value is $0 unless a user exceeds the cap. There is no concrete free credit or trial mentioned, and the page requires AWS account signup, so no_cc_required is false.
What's included in the free tier
- Non-exportable public certificates at no additional cost.
- First 10,000 export-certificate API calls per account each month at no cost.
