Definition

Transport Layer Security - the newer, more secure version of SSL for encrypting internet communications. Like an upgraded lock system that's harder to break.

Real-World Example

Modern websites use TLS 1.3 to ensure all data between your browser and the website is encrypted and secure.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

TLS is a protocol, not a single cloud service. Cloud providers offer certificate management and TLS termination on load balancers, API gateways, and edge/CDN services. The listed services manage X.509 certificates used by TLS (issuance, storage, rotation) and integrate with endpoints that terminate TLS.
