  • Request certs for all externally exposed hostnames.
  • Monitor expiration and renewal events.
  • Certificate status is Ready.
  • Correct DNS names are present in the certificate.
  • Route presents the expected certificate chain.
  • Avoid last-minute manual renewals.
  • Alert before certificate expiry windows.
  • Rotate issuer credentials safely.
