A Free DV Certificate Where the Validation Method Is a Decision, Not a Default
A free domain-validated certificate from Tencent Cloud SSL. DNS_AUTO writes the record for you and silently only works when the domain is on DNSPod, so the module refuses it unless you confirm that. The issued private key is a computed attribute and therefore in state, and the resource finishes before the certificate is issued, so read the status output.

Documentation
tencent-ssl-certificate
Managed TLS certificates on Tencent Cloud SSL, a free domain-validated certificate. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu
(>= 1.6), tencentcloud provider >= 1.81.0, < 2.0.
The issued private key is a computed attribute, so it is in the Terraform state. That is the price of issuing rather than uploading, and it makes the state backend part of the security of the certificate.
DNS_AUTO only works if the domain's DNS is on DNSPod, and the module refuses it unless you confirm that, because the failure is otherwise silent.
The resource finishes before the certificate is issued. Read the status output rather than treating an applied resource as a live certificate.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

Related modules
tencent-kms-key
key_rotation_enabled defaults to false, so today's key material encrypts everything for the life of the account; and a key scheduled for deletion is gone after its window with everything encrypted under it, on a service that has no flag to refuse the schedule. Rotation on for symmetric keys, a 30-day window (the maximum), and an output that says no deletion-protection flag exists.
tencent-secrets-manager
A secret in Tencent Cloud Secrets Manager as the two resources it is: the container with your KMS key (the service key by name) and a recovery window of up to thirty days, and the version that carries the value, a sensitive variable supplied at apply time and never output. A new version label is how the value rotates; immediate deletion is accepted by name.
alicloud-ssl-certificate
A certificate uploaded into Certificate Management Service for SLB, ALB, CDN and API Gateway to reference. The private key is an argument, so it lands in the Terraform state and the README says so plainly. SM2 is a signing pair plus an encryption pair and the module refuses a half-filled set, which would upload something no client can handshake with.
ibm-public-certificate
A publicly-trusted certificate issued into Secrets Manager, validated over DNS through Cloud Internet Services, with both configurations created here rather than left to a console. Staging issues a certificate no browser trusts while looking like success, so it is refused by name; auto-rotation and key rotation are on, because a ninety-day certificate nothing renews is a dated outage.
aws-acm
Requests a public, DNS-validated ACM TLS certificate that ACM auto-renews forever, outputting the validation records to publish - CT logging on, wildcards and SANs supported.
akamai-cps-dv-certificate
Automated Domain Validated TLS enrollment with DNS/HTTP challenge outputs wired for Edge DNS.
