"description": "This deployable architecture automates the creation of a private certificate in an IBM Cloud Secrets Manager instance, making it easier for users to securely manage certificates without manual effort. By integrating seamlessly with IBM Cloud Secrets Manager, this solution ensures that certificates are generated, stored, and maintained in a centralized and secure environment, aligned with enterprise security and compliance needs.<br> <br>Certificate Rotation Support:<br>You can optionally define a rotation policy by setting auto-rotation, rotation intervals, and units (days, months, etc.). This allows the certificate to be automatically rotated according to your security compliance requirements.<br><br>Secrets Manager Integration:<br>This solution also supports integration with [Cloud automation for Secrets Manager](https://cloud.ibm.com/catalog/7a4d68b4-cf8b-40cd-a3d1-f49aff526eb3/architecture/deploy-arch-ibm-secrets-manager-6d6ebc76-7bbd-42f5-8bc7-78f4fabd5944-global) instance automatically if one is not already available, enhancing provisioning flexibility in new environments.<br><br>Flexible Certificate Configuration:<br>Users can define all critical certificate attributes such as the certificate name, certificate common name, certificate alternate names , certificate signing request (CSR), certificate labels, certificate custom metadata, and certificate ttl.<br><br>Once deployed, users receive all relevant outputs based on their chosen return format, enabling easy integration of the certificate into their applications or infrastructure. This architecture is ideal for teams looking to simplify certificate management, improve operational efficiency, and maintain high security standards across their cloud workloads."
