Abstract: Techniques for seamless certificate replacement for endpoints in hyperconverged infrastructure are disclosed. In one example, a certificate replacement request for an endpoint may be received. Upon receiving the certificate replacement request, a new certificate may be placed in the endpoint such that the endpoint includes an old certificate and the new certificate. Further, dependent endpoints having communication with the endpoint using the old certificate may be discovered and monitored. Furthermore, the new certificate of the endpoint may be placed in the discovered dependent endpoints and existing communication between the endpoint and each of the discovered dependent endpoints using the old certificate may be maintained. Upon completion of the existing communication, next communication between the endpoint and each of the discovered dependent endpoints may be enabled using the new certificate. Then, the old certificate may be decommissioned from the endpoint and the discovered dependent endpoints.
