Talk Descriptions:

Using Certbot on All The Hosts! - Matt Zaske

A 100-200 level sort of overview of using Certbot to automate SSL cert management. The basics of how to get/install Certbot, how to use it (generally speaking) to request/renew/manage/delete/revoke certs, using it with the LetsEncrypt CA, using it with the UMN Sectigo/InCommon CA, using it across platforms (Linux/Windows) and in some fun “third-party” configs, and where it doesn’t fit well.
