@wmuldergov, I have a meeting this afternoon to discuss certificate renewal at the platform level using https://cert-manager.io/, which would be preferable to each team having to host and maintain their own instances of the bcgov/certbot. That said, I already had backup plans to add support for Ingresses (TLS Secrets) to bcgov/certbot.

Constructive meeting yesterday.

Key takeaways:

• ADMS team to get clarification on terms of the ACME licenses.
• Platform team to investigate deploying cert-manager.
• Goal/Timeline - Automated certificate renewal services operational before end of 2026. i.e. Prior to the certificate lifespans reducing to 100 days.

Certificate Lifespan Reduction Timelines

Effective Date	Maximum Certificate Lifespan	Maximum DCV Reuse Period	Approximate renewals per Year
Until Mar. 14, 2026	398 days	398 days	~ Once
March 15, 2026	200 days	200 days	~ Twice
March 15, 2027	100 days	100 days	~ Four times
March 15, 2029	47 days	10 days	~ Eight times
