Here are some common drivers for deploying ACME in a production environment: - Full automation of key and certificate management
- Desire to get server-side monitoring and alerting
- More structured process for requesting certificates to edge devices or printers
- Streamlined interaction between requesters and administrators
- Aiming to use an arbitrary ACME client to interact with private or public trusted CAs
- Possibility to combine software as a service and on-premise installations
- Audit-friendly reporting to assure compliance, and enhance incident management
