The days of the one-year SSL certificate are coming to an end - are you ready? Richard chats with Todd Gardner about the upcoming requirement from the Certification Authority Browser Forum to limit SSL certs to 200 days starting March 2026 - and they keep getting shorter until by 2029, certificates will last no longer than 47 days! If you haven't already automated certificate renewal, it's time to start moving in that direction. Todd talks about CertKit as a new approach to automating certificate renewal across various services, making it much easier. Still in the experimental phase, you can be part of the process and make your certificate life easier now!
