A free CA that works with server-side software to auto-deploy and renew SSL certs.
My old pal Seth Schoen is involved (though not his ascii beard), I'm excited.

Just paused the video to read it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gas_sSB-5SU
It currently is all "this is a dev preview, won't actually give you real certs, kthx". I wonder what will be there after it's not a dev preview?

@Greg Grossmeier They need to go through a lot of processes, including becoming a browser-installed real CA, right?
It looks like they're working with Mozilla though, so that's good.

Chris: Yeah, I guess a EULA isn't out of the question given the use case. I just have a knee-jerk reaction to them :P
I hear ya. But you gotta sign one to get an SSL cert these days in my experience anyway... or a domain... or anything identifier oriented in this modern web ;p
