Renew a certificateRenew a certificate

Certificate Manager does not manage custom certificates. To make your certificate continuously available to your resources, be sure to renew it on time.

To renew a certificate:

1. Get a new TLS certificate from a third-party certificate authority.

2. Renew a certificate.

   All the resources that use the certificate will get its new version.
