== Management

Control plane certificates are managed by the system and rotated automatically.

In the rare case that your control plane certificates have expired, see xref:../../backup_and_restore/control_plane_backup_and_restore/disaster_recovery/scenario-3-expired-certs.adoc#dr-recovering-expired-certs[Recovering from expired control plane certificates].
If control plane certificates expire, see "Recovering from expired control plane certificates".
