Why can certificate rotation become a production Dapr risk?

Certificate rotation can become a production Dapr risk because service-to-service security depends on valid certificates, timing, and trust relationships. If certificates expire, rotate incorrectly, or are inconsistently applied across clusters, applications can lose secure communication or experience hard-to-diagnose failures. Production teams need visibility, scheduling, testing, and rollback planning around certificate lifecycle events. This is especially important in Kubernetes environments with many services and Dapr sidecars. Diagrid Conductor is positioned to help operate Dapr in production by supporting certificate management along with upgrades, advisories, monitoring, and cluster-level operational visibility.
