Additional Notes

Alibaba Cloud ESA (Edge Security Acceleration) is a new CDN and edge security platform from Alibaba Cloud.
Unlike the traditional Alibaba Cloud DNS service (AliDNS), ESA adopts a nameserver (NS)–based integration model similar to Cloudflare — meaning that once a domain is onboarded to ESA, the DNS resolution must be managed within ESA itself, not through the standard Alibaba Cloud DNS console.

Because of this architecture, existing alidns providers in lego cannot be reused for certificate automation. ESA exposes a separate API for DNS record management, distinct from the one used by AliDNS.
