How are IP certs any good in the days of cloud? I presume they are used in instances where it’s tied to a “well known” ip?

- lowsong 2y agoIt's often very difficult to get domain names in large orgs, but very easy to get public IPs. An IP can be as easy as a couple of buttons to get a static IP and assign it to a cloud LB in AWS or Google Cloud. Domain Names usually require choosing a domain name (without picking a name that reveals internal project details), then convincing someone with budget to buy the domain, then someone has to manage the domain name forevermore. For quick demos, or simple environments, it'd easier to just get a static IP and use that.
- JSTrading 2y agoYeah so what happens when that IP is recycled in the Cloud?
- marginalia_nu 2y agoNot everything is catering to the cloud. Still plenty of people who rock their own servers.
