updates, troubleshooting etc. The public Edge cert is up for renewal. Can anyone provide advice on renewing this cert? I am planning on just renewing with the same cert provider, but was interested in if there is anything to watch out for. Example, will
there be a service interruption when replacing the cert? Or just install the new cert/pk and rest easy?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
