Certificate improvement

About more news features on new “VMware(R) Cloud Foundation 9” I think one of all need mension is the unified certificate management within VCF Operations.

This feature facilitates smooth, non-disruptive certificate updates, automatic renewals with multiple Certificate Authorities, and the ability to import externally signed certificates.

Consequently, it resolves operational difficulties, enhances security measures, and ensures greater compliance.

 

Certificate Alerts Tab

 

Do you remember when your vCenter’s certificate expired resulting in a Veeam backup crash and related panic?

Now with this long-awaited and long-requested feature, this will no longer be a problem we have to face !

Interesting. Thanks for sharing Marco!

Doesn’t vCenter currently have alerting for expiring vCenter/Host certificates? 🤔 Well, if not...this is a welcomed new feature!

This is such a cool new feature and will help everyone keep updated on SSLs.  Nice to see this added to VCF9 which we are working on deploying now and will rollout globally soon.

This a very interesting feature.

We had some problems with certificates in several customer environments.
