# Changelog

## Overview

This is the first release of the SDK Python Certificate Manager.

Using the Certificate Manager Service, you can conveniently provision and manage SSL certificates with IONOS services and your internal connected resources. For the [Application Load Balancer](https://api.ionos.com/docs/cloud/v6/#Application-Load-Balancers-get-datacenters-datacenterId-applicationloadbalancers), you usually need a certificate to encrypt your HTTPS traffic. The service provides the basic functions of uploading and deleting your certificates for this purpose.
