Sounds like they actually enable you to do this in a sensible and secure way vs Cloudflare just asking for the keys to the castle. Which is a big 👍

Fastly requires more expertise than using Cloudflare. You have to bring your own DNS, and you have to think about what you’re doing with your certs instead of letting CF handle it all. OTOH, you’re making a clear statement that hosting assholes is not okay.

No, Fastly would still be able to issue certs for your domain via the HTTP method, they just don't.

Not if CAA disallows that.

Has

still not moved CAA ACME method restrictions or account key pinning out of beta???

No. validationmethods / accounturi are still only deployed for staging and I've asked them about it a few times in different places without getting an answer, likely because I'm not asking the right people if there are any right people. Possible whoever was working on it left...

Uhg. This is so infuriating. It's literally one deploy (with basically zero risk of breakage to anyone not using it) away from being secured.

You also get warned if your certificates are going to expire anyway. We use hardened service configuration for certbot renewal and recently it broke due to new system call so we got the usual email from Let's Encrypt and a warning from our NodePing monitoring setup about it.
