Hi @Sudhesh ,

These are the considerations

• Free SSL certificate is available in Azure provided by DigiCert. But wildcard is not supported. You may need to use CNAME etc.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-ssl-certificate#create-a-free-certificate-preview

• Next is use paid standard certificate ($69.99/per year)- supported one server at a time

https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.SSL

• User paid wildcard certificate ($299.99) - from the same page above
