Providing ssl connectivity inside software defined datacenters with hyperconverged infrastructure

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• configure a primary Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate on an endpoint of a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI);
• configure a secondary SSL certificate on the endpoint;
• secure data communicated between the endpoint and another endpoint of the HCI using the primary certificate;
• secure data communicated between the endpoint and the other endpoint using the secondary certificate, instead of the primary certificate, responsive to determining a fault in the primary certificate;
• and
• secure data communicated between the endpoint and the other endpoint using a new primary certificate configured on the endpoint, instead of the secondary certificate, responsive to the new primary certificate being configured on the endpoint.

A system, comprising:

• a primary certificate engine configured to configure a primary Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate on an endpoint of a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI);
• a secondary certificate engine configured to configure a secondary SSL certificate on the endpoint;
• a first communication engine configured to secure data communicated between the endpoint and another endpoint of the HCI using the primary certificate;
• a second communication engine configured to secure data communicated between the endpoint and the other endpoint using the secondary certificate, instead of the primary certificate, responsive to determining a fault in the primary certificate;
• and
• a new primary certificate engine configured to secure data communicated between the endpoint and the other endpoint using a new primary certificate configured on the endpoint, instead of the secondary certificate, responsive to the new primary certificate being configured on the endpoint.
