Description

There have been a round of cert expiry that has had to be dealt with in CI recently

This has led to a lot of failed pipelines and the need to backport various fixes

One discussion around this has been to generate the certificates dynamically with bazel, and i guess some kind of action_env that expires/rebuilds at certain times

Contributor guide
