Add Amazon root certificates

This being Amazon AWS gives me hope that this will be a CA with an API that allows automatic certificate issuance for domains you control. I find the process of issuing and reissuing certificates for all sorts of services to be an increasing amount of work as more and more services move to https.<p>(The letsencrypt.org CA is build around automated certificate issuance through an API, but some competition wouldn&#x27;t be a bad thing.)

An obvious move for Amazon. They&#x27;ll be able to make SSL certificate management pretty painless for people using ELB.

I wonder how long it will take before it becomes practical to rely on Amazon-issued certs.

Does it bother anyone else that the links Amazon provided to their certificates and CRLs are not https?

How long will it take for the CA to be distributed to a large enough browser base?<p>I mean, it could be years. Is there any other, speedier process? (cross-signing, for instance).

A typo in the introduction:<p><pre><code> &quot;We do not require customers that customers have a domain registration (...)&quot; </code></pre> There is a &quot;customers&quot; too much.

The community needs to figure out a way to demonopolize this business and make it ubiquitous without destroying its credibility.

Since Amazon is an American company, would you trust their certificates? I mean are they going to give private keys to NSA or whoever is now spying in the US?

Why would I trust a company like Amazon with a root certificate when it doesn&#x27;t even use HTTPS across its website?
