    Also wanted to plug my cert related modules Posh-ACME and Posh-ACME.Deploy for getting and deploying free certs from Let's Encrypt or other ACME-based cert authorities. Though my modules typically require at least PS 5.1 and .NET 4.7.1.

    Setup a KeyVault and Managed Identity, which you can integrate with DigiCert natively. If you'd rather use Let's Encrypt, keyvault-acmebot does work well. Certify and win-acme have KeyVault plugins, just run the software on a VM somewhere and update KeyVault. You can also use Posh-ACME and the Azure Az PowerShell module to roll your own. You could also do it on a Linux/BSD OS with various ACME implementations and the Azure CLI.

    It will generate the PFX and PEM cert files. Refer to https://github.com/rmbolger/Posh-ACME/blob/main/Tutorial.md for tutorial.
