HTTPS Certificate – Creating a Free Certificate in Azure WebApp

Microsoft has released free HTTPS certificate generation on Azure App Service, fully managed by Azure. Now we can enable HTTPS for our own domain free of charge in Azure App Service.

To test this feature, I’ve used Azure WebApp, which has my devcloudops.com blog page.

  • To do this, I’ve clicked the Private App Certificates section in the TSL / SSL settings section of my WebApp and pressed the Create App Service Managed Certificate button.

  • My certificate has been activated for 6 months of use.
