In order to perform SSL termination on load balancers, DigitalOcean offers two types of [SSL certificate management](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/teams/manage-certificates): * **Custom**: User-generated certificates may be uploaded to DigitalOcean where they will be placed in a fully encrypted and isolated storage system. * **Let's Encrypt**: Certificates may be automatically generated by DigitalOcean utilizing an integration with Let's Encrypt, the free and open certificate authority. These certificates will also be automatically renewed as required.
