Rotate certificate authorities
The certificate authorities (CAs) in a cluster are valid for five years, so you
must
rotate your CAs
at least once every five years.
Certificates for cluster components
Cluster components use certificates for authentication. These components
include kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, kube-scheduler, etcd
and kubelet. The certificates are valid for one year and are renewed during
cluster upgrade. To prevent the certificates from
expiring, you must upgrade your cluster at least once a year.
