AWS Certificate Manager maps to Key Vault certificates, plus free managed certificates built into App Service and Front Door.
- Issuance. ACM issues free public certificates (Amazon-issued) for integrated services. Key Vault doesn't issue public certificates itself; it orders them from integrated CAs (DigiCert or GlobalSign, billed by the CA) or stores imported ones. App Service and Front Door can issue free managed certificates for custom domains.
- Deployment. ACM certificates attach directly to ELB, CloudFront, and API Gateway. Key Vault certificates are referenced by App Service, Application Gateway, and Front Door.
