Google Cloud on Monday announced that its Certificate Authority Service is now generally available.

The Google Cloud Certificate Authority Service, for which a public preview was announced in October 2020, is designed to help organizations "Simplify, automate, and customize the deployment, management, and security of private certificate authorities."

Google says the most important new features made available in CAS are simplified certificate authority rotation, and improved control over certificate issuance policies.

Other new features and integrations include the addition of Terraform support for managing and configuring CAS, a Hashicorp Vault plugin, and a tutorial for setting up and using CAS. Google Cloud CAS can be used based on a pay-as-you-go model, but subscription models are available for large-volume customers.

Google also announced that the service is now available in more regions.

"Google Cloud CAS offers a virtually unbounded quota for the total number of issued certificates at a rate that can meet any of modern scales backed by an enterprise grade , making customer managed deployments very hard to justify," Google Cloud employees wrote in a blog post.
