Why hasn't Let's Encrypt eaten the SSL certificate industry?

@ghosttie@mastodon.gamedev.place Two reasons: Required automation. At 90 days, Lets Encrypt always needed you to automate certificates end to end. And that's actually really difficult for most organizations. There's a lot of devices that simply do not support ACME and never will. No support. Lots of IT shops need that safety net, need that number to call when things go wrong. I think the 47-day mandate is going to drive a lot of new folks to Let's Encrypt
