I have been anticipating this but have had better things to spend my limited time on. I have more than 135 sites I need to convert to https and they are load balanced. I don't think letsencrypt handles load balanced sites yet. My management is against wildcard certs. This might push them over the edge in favor of wildcard certs.


You can have a single cert with all 135 sites' domain names in it. A wildcard cert may be preferable if the list of domain names frequently changes.


Thanks. I hadn't yet considered this.


I use LetsEncrypt on a load balancer without issue.


DO you have a url for documentation that shows how to set up the certs? Our certs are on each web server and not in the load balancer. I suppose we can also put the certs into the load balancer but I don't have control over that.

Edit: typo
