    To create a new Let's Encrypt certificate:

    1. In the management console, select the folder to create your certificate in.
    2. In the list of services, select Certificate Manager.
    3. Click Add certificate.
    4. In the menu that opens, select Let's Encrypt certificate.
    5. In the window that opens, enter the name of the certificate in the Name field.
    6. (optional) In the Description field, enter a description for the certificate.
    7. In the Domains field, enter the list of domains to create a certificate for.
    8. Select the type of domain rights check: HTTP or DNS.
    9. Click Create.

    If you don't have the Yandex.Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

    The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

    1. View a description of the command:

      yc certificate-manager certificate request --help

    2. Run the command:

      yc certificate-manager certificate request \
  --name mymanagedcert \
  --domains example.com

      Command parameters:

      • --name: Certificate name.
      • --domains: Certificate domains.

      Command results:

      id: fpq6gvvm6piuegbb2nol
folder_id: b1g7gvsi89m34qmcm3ke
created_at: "2020-09-15T08:49:11.533771Z"
name: mymanagedcert
type: MANAGED
domains:
- example.com
status: VALIDATING
updated_at: "2020-09-15T08:49:11.533771Z"

    To create a certificate, use the requestNew method for the Certificate resource.

    The new certificate now appears in the certificate list with the Validating status. This status means that a Let's Encrypt certificate was requested and you need to pass the domain rights check to process it.
