## What are these certificates good for?
## Example
Autocert is incredibly easy to use. To trigger automatic certificate management you simply add an annotation to your pods specifying your service's DNS hostname. Autocert will do the rest: securely issuing a certificate, mounting it in containers, and handling renewals.
Autocert certificates let you secure your data plane (service-to-service) communication using mutual TLS (mTLS). Services and proxies can limit access to clients that also have a certificate issued by your certificate authority (CA). Servers can identify which client is connecting improving visibility and enabling granular access control.
