Azure added free DigiCert SSL certs! Check it out on Microsoft Docs . No wildcard certs but they are free and managed, so since subdomains are free, who cares if its not a wildcard. So you don't need to do the CertBot stuff anymore if you're on Azure. Using a cert bot is good too. If your cloud doesn't have free certs use Let's Encrypt . By the way, AWS had free certs already if you use AWS Certificate Manager . Don't pay for certs, and you should always get a cert. use free certs
