Rotate an expiring TLS certificate
Practice the certificate-rotation order from platform-ops training so the old cert is not revoked before the new one is serving traffic.
- Generate or import the new certificate and private key in the vault.
- Install the new cert on the staging listener.
- Validate the chain, SAN, and handshake.
- Schedule the production cutover in the change window.
- Switch the production listener to the new cert.
- Confirm external monitors and clients succeed.
- Revoke or archive the old cert only after cutover is confirmed.
