Cloud Providers Overview
Next-Gen Trust Security integrates with supported cloud providers to provision, discover, and manage certificates stored in cloud-based keystores. These integrations allow you to extend centralized certificate governance into your cloud environments while continuing to use native cloud services.
By configuring a cloud provider connection, you enable Next-Gen Trust Security:
- Provision new certificates into cloud certificate stores
- Discover existing certificates created outside the platform
- Monitor certificate status and expiration
- Apply governance policies consistently across environments
Cloud provider integrations require initial configuration, including identity and access permissions within the cloud platform. Once configured, you can add cloud keystores, run discovery, provision certificates, and configure scheduled synchronization.
Supported Cloud Providers
The following cloud platforms are supported:
- Akamai – Integrates with Akamai Certificate Provisioning System (CPS)
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) – Integrates with AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)
- Microsoft Azure – Integrates with Azure Key Vault
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP) – Integrates with Google Certificate Manager
Each provider requires its own connection configuration and authentication setup before certificates can be provisioned or discovered.
How Cloud Integrations Work
At a high level, cloud integration follows this sequence:
- Create a cloud provider connection in Next-Gen Trust Security.
- Configure identity and access permissions within the cloud platform.
- Validate the connection.
- Add one or more cloud keystores.
- Provision certificates or configure scheduled discovery.
The specific steps vary by cloud provider and authentication method.
