When you enable certificate hosting, the system inherits the deployment settings from your original certificate, automatically creates and starts tasks to deploy future renewal certificates. This topic describes how to view, stop, and delete these hosted deployment tasks.
How deployment tasks are created
Alibaba Cloud creates hosted deployment tasks based on the number of certificates associated with the hosted certificate. For example, if you set the Validity Period (Years) parameter to 2 when you create a certificate, Alibaba Cloud generates one associated certificate for the certificate and automatically creates one hosted deployment task. The following figure shows an example.
Prerequisites
Hosting is enabled for your certificate. For more information, see Enable hosting for a certificate.
