What Microsoft Cloud PKI is
Microsoft Cloud PKI is a paid certificate management service for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. It handles mutual TLS certificates through issuance, delivery, and revocation workflows. Automated certificate lifecycle management brings these operations together, while deployment automation supports distributing certificates and revocation workflows support removing them. The service also supports certificate authority integrations. Microsoft lists the Cloud PKI plan at $2.00 per user per month when billed yearly. The annual subscription renews automatically, and there is no free plan. The listed deployment model covers the supported device platforms through the service described in Microsoft Intune documentation. Organizations can use the product when they need managed certificate operations across mixed mobile and desktop environments.
