Managing TLS Certificates Using Ansible and Let’s Encrypt! PART 3:

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

So far in this series we’ve built the pieces:

Part 1: request a certificate with Ansible Core and Cloudflare DNS-01
Part 2: run that from AWX/AAP and store the result in a cert-store Git repo
Part 2.1: deploy to a Cisco ASA
Part 2.2: deploy to an F5 BIG-IP

Every one of those still needs someone to click the rocket icon. This part removes the human. We’ll build an AWX/AAP workflow that runs every morning, checks every certificate, renews only the ones that are due, deploys them, verifies them, and only bothers you when something goes wrong.
