DevOps Guide to SSL Certificate

[DanielWright]

This PR proposes to add a guide for maintaining information about managing SSL certificates. It also defines a 'devops' content subsection into which this guide fits.

Topics to be covered by the guide:

• Generating a certificate request
• Buying or updating an SSL certificate
• Installing the SSL certificate

@DanielWright I would argue this should be in the DevOps department. Or BackEnd.

[simonwalsh]

The structure of the content of each department is still unclear tho.

[DanielWright]

Isn't that where I put it? In the devops department?

content/departments/devops/ssl-certificates.mdown

[simonwalsh]

1. content folder is deprecated... I will remove it as soon as I work on this. The posts go into /_posts. See readme.
2. We haven't figured out how to make a 2 level nesting like this yet, so it might end up just being under the category of devops and not departments/devops.

[DanielWright]

That's what I get for not RTFM... Nice work having an up-to-date README!

I will fix.

[simonwalsh]

Cool! Once you do, merge it and I will submit a PR to delete the content fold or do it in this PR of you are game.

[braidn]

Thanks for this DW! This is exactly the workflow I would like for the content building piece for backend components.

[simonwalsh]

Ditto ^

@DanielWright Can we merge your two PRs ?
Let's add content by tiny bit together, rather that always pushing a document finished.
Otherwise it would take forever to push content and would prevent people to collaborate. Plus, it'd be better than the current Lorem Ispum on the page.

[braidn]

Agreed! Work in the open, work iterative like, and get content out there. We can always tweak as we go.

[simonwalsh]

@Bokay @braidn I'm super down with this! Let's just not advertise -- to the world that is -- it until we have 100% not lorem ipsum I would say!

[braidn]

Or just let Cpom do the advertising. He's good at that.

[simonwalsh]

@braidn I personally would argue against advertising this yet.

[nicocharlery]

@braidn I've asked Corey to add DNA updates to Le Digestif ;) Great minds, bla bla...

[DanielWright]

Totally on board. Finishing up this article has fallen way down my priority list, unfortunately.

[braidn]

@DanielWright are the SSLs.com creds in our Vault?

[DanielWright]

No, they're not. D'you need 'em?

[braidn]

Huge did this morning. I imagine things are all good now due to Slack chatter.
