Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)  

The storage operators need to be automatically restarted after the certificates are renewed.

From OCP doc "The service CA certificate, which issues the service certificates, is valid for 26 months and is automatically rotated when there is less than 13 months validity left."

Since OCP is now offering an 18 months lifecycle per release, the storage operator pods need to be automatically restarted after the certificates are renewed.

Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)

The storage operators will be transparently restarted. The customer benefit should be transparent, it avoids manually restart of the storage operators.

Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):

The administrator should not need to restart the storage operator when certificates are renew.

This should apply to all relevant operators with a consistent experience.

Use Cases (Optional):

As an administrator I want the storage operators to be automatically restarted when certificates are renewed.

Questions to Answer (Optional):

Include a list of refinement / architectural questions that may need to be answered before coding can begin.  Initial completion during Refinement status.

Out of Scope

High-level list of items that are out of scope.  Initial completion during Refinement status.
