Infisical: A Complete Guide to Certificate Lifecycle Management
Certificates are one of the quietest ways production goes down. Every cert you've issued is a timer counting toward an outage, and most teams can't say how many they have or where they all live. This video is a high-level walkthrough of certificate management in Infisical: how to discover what you already have, issue from private or public CAs, standardize issuance with policies and profiles, and then automate renewal, deployment, alerting, and revocation across the entire lifecycle. If you've used Infisical for secrets, the model will feel familiar. Centralize everything, scope access by identity, automate the busywork, and keep it all auditable, this time across the full life of an X.509 certificate.
