La PKI SaaS de EJBCA ya está disponible en Microsoft Azure

It’s no secret that organizations rely heavily on public key infrastructure (PKI) and machine identities to securely build, deliver, and run applications. Historically, Active Directory Certificate Services, also known as Microsoft CA, has been the de facto PKI choice for organizations — it’s well integrated into the Microsoft infrastructure and supports standard use cases.

However, as companies shift to hybrid and multi-cloud environments with Azure and Active Directory (AD), traditional on-premise Microsoft CAs simply cannot support their migration.

Traditional PKI wasn’t built to handle the volume and velocity of certificate usage today, which spans from web servers and load balancers to mobile and IoT devices, and increasingly, CI/CD tools and cloud-based infrastructure.

Plus, there are additional roadblocks for organizations to navigate: 

• Operational challenges: Microsoft CA only allows one CA per server. At a time when organizations need to issue new certificates from a variety of CAs on a daily basis, this creates an overly complex footprint at scale.
• Limited integrations: While Microsoft CA integrates well with on-premise Microsoft infrastructure, that’s where it ends. This lack of integration support doesn’t work well as organizations move to a multi-cloud environment.
• Lack of support: Microsoft is well aware of these limitations and is no longer actively supporting or developing Microsoft CA, meaning that the gap between the limitations of the solution and modern use cases will only continue to widen.
• Lack of flexibility: Traditional PKI is rigid and inflexible. Organizations need a modern PKI solution that can be deployed how and where they need it, whether it’s on-premise or in the cloud, fully managed or self-hosted.

Without a cloud-based PKI, organizations struggle to stretch their existing PKI deployment during migration, often to its breaking point. The good news is there’s a clear path to a modern PKI in the cloud.
