Seems appropriate. Most of the Scrum meeting sounds like Russian to me anyway...

I'm getting a new Azure VM ready to host several web apps and am to the point of getting an SSL cert for it. It appears that Let's Encrypt requires renewals more frequently than a 'store bought' ssl but that the renewal can be automated. I might be able to live with that.
Anyhow, to the point...anyone here using let's encrypt? Anyone had issues with it? Usually there is a reason things are free...limitations and such. Thanks for any suggestions/thoughts. 
<rant>
Edit: 4 hours later after receiving some encouraging reviews and I can't get it working! Using a GUI tool called certify, I got a cert installed easily, but no joy on connecting via https...now giving a dns error. (INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND) The certs (I now have 3 from trying different configurations to get it to work) appear to be valid on the server. The bindings appear to be correct as well. IIS 10 on Server 2016 if it matters.
<afterthought>
I'd hate to find out that my ISP's cable modem is blocking 443...probably not, but I'm running out of reasons why this won't work. wte would dns have to do with it...the sites show up fine with http, but not https.

How did you automate the renewal process? I also have been using LetsEncrypt successfully in both on-prem servers and Azure VMs (dev and test servers). But every 3 months I have to go through the hassle of manually renewing.

I had the same problem at first. You have to select a Azure subscription level that won't shut down the WebJob that does the renewal. If I remember right, when you go to the web job you will probably get a warning about this, and give you the option to update your subscription. Once you do that you should have no more issues with this.

I am using Certify The Web and max renewal time span is 60 days. What software do you using?

I wrote my own service that checks whether the cert needs to be renewed and then launches a wrapper that provides the command line parameters to GitHub - oocx/acme.net: A .net implementation of ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment)[^]
In some cases, I embed the check in the web server itself so I don't need a separate service.

Do you have a link?

That link to acme.net has a command line option to update IIS. Works quite well.
Perusing the source, it's definitely not a hobby project, imo.

From github:
Quote: This project is work in progress. It works, but probably still has many bugs and needs more testing.
If you are just looking for a Let's Encrypt client or a more mature project, then you should take a look at these projects:
For me looks like hobby project. I am not saying that it not works. Description from the author sends a signal: 'do not use it at home'

Have used it on OpenLearning.com (custom NS) with no problem for a while and have a bunch of servers that using it by automation.
If you don't like the hassle on renewal, maybe cheap SSL from Godaddy or Comodo will do.

I use it for a website and it works great.
The auto-renewal feels a bit clunky in Windows but it's not stopped working *yet* - I use the same auto-renewal linked by Richard Deeming above.

I use it on QNAP NAS, client site (Linux) and personal usage (Windows). And it works without any issues. Auto renewal is awesome. However, you can not get OV or EV certificate from Let's Encrypt.
There can be only one.

I used another GUI (certify) and everything seemed to go well...the cert shows active with 89 days, the .well-known folder was created, the tests all passed, the certs show up in IIS, bindings seem to be good....still not getting websites to work with https.
