It offers a fully managed ACME server endpoint that issues public TLS certificates from Amazon Trust Services. Any ACMEv2-compatible client works, including Certbot, cert-manager for Kubernetes, and acme.sh. The CA/Browser Forum is mandating 47-day certificate lifetimes by 2029, which makes manual management of public certificates untenable. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does AWS Certificate Manager support the ACME protocol in AWS GovCloud? Yes, ACM now supports ACME in both AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West). It provides a fully managed ACME server endpoint that issues public TLS certificates from Amazon Trust Services, and works with any ACMEv2-compatible client such as Certbot, cert-manager for Kubernetes, or acme.sh. _Teams automating cert renewal in GovCloud can track AWS infrastructure updates like this on daily.dev._ ### Why do I need to automate TLS certificate renewal instead of managing it manually? The CA/Browser Forum is mandating 47-day certificate lifetimes by 2029, which makes manual renewal of public certificates untenable. Standards-based ACME support, like that now available in AWS Certificate Manager, gives developers a way to fully automate certificate issuance and renewal ahead of that deadline. _Developers planning for shorter certificate lifetimes can follow infrastructure changes like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AWS Certificate Manager now supports the ACME protocol for public certificates](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-certificate-manager-now-supports-the-acme-protocol-for-public-certificates-kehj4conk) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Automate public TLS certificate issuance with ACME support in AWS Certificate Manager](https://daily.dev/posts/automate-public-tls-certificate-issuance-with-acme-support-in-aws-certificate-manager-i2i3oggwu) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [ACM now supports automated certificate management for Kubernetes](https://daily.dev/posts/acm-now-supports-automated-certificate-management-for-kubernetes-sgf11nvci) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AWS Introduces Workload Credentials Provider for Automated Certificate and Secret Management](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-introduces-workload-credentials-provider-for-automated-certificate-and-secret-management-xmji9zeqz) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AWS Certificate Manager updates default certificate validity to comply with new guidelines](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-certificate-manager-updates-default-certificate-validity-to-comply-with-new-guidelines-ehv0yccoq) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#aws](https://daily.dev/tags/aws) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/acm-now-supports-acme-for-public-certificates-in-aws-govcloud-us--34paxefcu) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"ACM now supports ACME for public certificates in AWS GovCloud (US)","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/acm-now-supports-acme-for-public-certificates-in-aws-govcloud-us--34paxefcu","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/acm-now-supports-acme-for-public-certificates-in-aws-govcloud-us--34paxefcu"},"datePublished":"2026-10-29T19:04:11.883Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T19:04:40.036Z","description":"AWS Certificate Manager now supports the ACME protocol in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West).
