Frankie,

What is the reason why the cert has to be deleted on the balancer deletion?
The entire workflow, if I'm not mistaken, is to first work with Barbican
API in order to create the cert bundle. And technically it is not yet
connected to anything else.
After that you create the balancer, specifying the link to where the cert
bundle is.
>From this perspective, why one should expect the cert bundle to be deleted?

For me personally it is the same as deletion of the image automatically
once the instance got deleted :/

Sorry if I'm missing the context.
