  • FYI with many routers, switches, and firewalls there are ways to automatically rollback changes in case the device is unreachable after applying them. Usually the command is called something like “Rollback”.

    You usually supply a time limit when you run the command and if you don’t confirm the changes before that time limit it will rollback. So if you run rollback 30 and then do something which breaks the network connection, the config will rollback in 30 seconds. If it does work, you simply cancel the rollback.

    Yeah, absolutely!

    I actually like the change.

    It’s just that it will create a lot of work for us (especially for me and my colleague) short term. I would very much appreciate it if Google actually bothered to give an exact timeline (optimally a few months or a year in advance).

    PSA: All public certificates (private internal certificates won’t be affected) will have a lifetime of only 90 days soon. Google is planning to reduce their lifetime in 2024 but considering that they haven’t given an update on this since early this year, I doubt it will happen this year.

    But it will happen soon.

    This will be a pain in the ass for my workplace because we primarily use Digicert and manually renewing certificates every 90 days is just impossible for use. We are currently looking into a way to switch to letsencrypt or similar.
