You can just rotate without restarting services.

We're rotating currently only once a day.

We rotate on one machine, then rsync the data to the others in a cron job. Has been working well for a couple of months now.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi
In a multi node HA deployment for production does key rotate need a keystone process reboot or should we just run the fernet rotate on one node and distribute it without restarting any process
I presume keystone can handle the rotation without a restart?

I also assume this key rotation can happen without a maintenance window

What do folks typically do in production and how often do you rotate keys

Ajay
