# Certificate Authority Pool

A Certificate Authority Pool in Google Cloud is a container for managing multiple certificate authorities within Certificate Authority Service. It allows you to group and organize CAs that share similar trust and policy requirements, simplifying certificate issuance and lifecycle management. Each pool can contain one or more CAs, and clients can request certificates from any CA in the pool based on defined policies.
