A surprising number of Ops colleagues have almost zero exposure to IaC and the short-lived certificates on the horizon has been the necessary catalyst to change this.

Automation isn't enough: qualys.com (famous for SSLLabs.com) is currently serving an expired certificate (expired 8 days ago). They know their job very well, but without a tool to thoroughly and systematically inventory your certificates, you'll miss it.
