OCI Certificate Manager
DB Realm Inc. (Internal)
Challenge
OCI Load Balancers require manual certificate updates, and Let's Encrypt certificates expire every 90 days — creating a recurring operational burden and risk of service disruption.
Solution
Built an automated certificate management system that handles Let's Encrypt certificate issuance, DNS-01 challenge validation via Route53, and automated deployment to OCI Load Balancer listeners and backend sets.
Results
- ✓ Automated Let's Encrypt renewal
- ✓ DNS-01 challenge via Route53
- ✓ OCI Load Balancer auto-deployment
- ✓ Zero-downtime certificate rotation
The OCI Certificate Manager eliminates the manual overhead of managing TLS certificates on OCI Load Balancers. It handles the full lifecycle — from Let’s Encrypt issuance through DNS validation to load balancer deployment — with zero downtime.
