Fun anecdote - I wrote a new load balancer for our services to direct traffic to an ECS cluster. The services are exposed by domain name (e.g. api-tools.mycompany.com), and the load balancer was designed to produce certificates via letsencrypt for any host that came in. I had planned to make the move over the next day, but I moved a single service over to make sure everything was working. Next day as I'm testing moving traffic over, I find that I've been rate limited by Lets Encrypt for a week. I check the database and I had provisioned dozens of certificates for vpn.api-tools.mycompany.com, phpmyadmin.api-tools.mycompany.com, down the list of anything you can think of. There was no security issue, but it was very annoying that I had to delay the rollout by a week and add a whitelist feature.
