Why can't you just read any cert regardless of where it is hosted and send an alert when it is under a week? Why tie it to AWS?

No reason it can't check any hostname, but all my custom SSL certs are on CloudFront.

You're only cool if you're paying Amazon.

I run almost everything on AWS, but I don't see why this should be a checker at the AWS level when SSL certs are typically exposed for any reader. I would still run it in lambda, but I would check the cert over the public route.
