Is that even remotely true?
There are alternatives to Lets Encrypt - AWS has an equivalent project where they issue free SSL certs for AWS resources.
- hhjj 6y agoIf it is for AWS resources it is not equivalent.
- solarengineer 6y agoAWS don’t owe non AWS customers free certificates, though. It is possible to host LetsEncrypt alternatives, though. The viability is another matter, though.
- pessimizer 6y agoLetsEncrypt doesn't owe anyone free certificates, either. The point is that AWS isn't an alternative unless you're spending money with AWS. Nobody is wondering whether you can get a certificate by paying someone.
- madeofpalk 6y agoEquivalent in the sense that, if you're in AWS (which is a non-insignficant amount of people) then you have options other then Lets Encrypt.
