LBaaS certificate

MOSK automatically generates the TLS certificate used by Octavia Amphora load balancers. This certificate is stored in the octavia-amphora-tls-certs Kubernetes secret in the openstack namespace. It is generated automatically during the initial OpenStack deployment and is renewed through the automated certificate rotation procedure.

Monitoring certificate expiration

MOSK exports LBaaS certificate expiration information to StackLight through the osdpl_certificate_expiry metric with the label octavia-amphora-tls-certs. The alert is triggered when the certificate is nearing its expiration date and indicates that a rotation should be scheduled.

Triggering certificate rotation
