IBM Cloud: Tasks after migration of a certificate from Certificate Manager to Secrets Manager?

243 views Asked by At

I have migrated a certificate from IBM Cloud Certificate Manager to Secrets Manager. Now I have the same certificate in both Certificate Manager and Secrets Manager.

What should I do now to use the certificate from only Secrets Manager?

IBM Cloud Certificate Manager is integrated with some IBM Cloud services. The newer IBM Cloud Secrets Manager is a more general replacement. It includes support for certificates. There is a Certificate Manager to Secrets Manager migration guide.

From my experience, you should

  • set up notifications for expiring certificates
  • test if you can benefit from automated renewal / provisioning
  • check if your scenario is supported (could your app / service consume from Secrets Manager)

As stated, not all scenarios are supported right now and I use both Certificate Manager and Secrets Manager in parallel, for different sets of certificates and secrets.
