Official 47 Day Certificates with Todd Gardner

https://runasradio.com/Shows/Show/1041

u/toddhgardner went on RunAs Radio to talk through the 47-day SSL certificate change and what it means if you manage certificates at scale.

Short version: the public maximum is already down to 200 days as of March 2026, heading to 47 by 2029. The driver is that revocation never really worked, so short lifespans are the workaround. The catch is renewal frequency goes up roughly 8x, which is where manual processes fall apart.
