Operations of a certificate bundle distribution service may include: detecting a trigger condition to distribute a certificate bundle that includes a set of certificate authority certificates; determining, for each of a plurality of network entities associated with a computer network, a fault domain representing at least one single point of failure; partitioning the plurality of network entities into a plurality of certificate distribution groups, based on a set of partitioning criteria that includes a fault domain of each particular network entity, in which each particular certificate distribution group includes a particular subset of network entities, and the particular subset of network entities are associated with a particular fault domain; selecting a particular certificate distribution group, of the plurality of certificate distribution groups, for distribution of the certificate bundle; and transmitting the certificate bundle to the particular subset of network entities in the particular certificate distribution group.

Distributing certificate bundles according to fault domains

Techniques for updating certificate bundles may include receiving, at an entity associated with a virtual cloud network, a certificate bundle that includes an updated set of certificate authority (CA) certificates. The techniques may include applying a validation process to an entity certificate based on the certificate bundle, with the entity certificate having been issued to the entity prior to the entity receiving the certificate bundle. The validation process may include validating, by the entity, a certificate chain that includes the entity certificate and a CA certificate included in the updated set of CA certificates. The techniques may include, responsive to validating the certificate chain, installing the certificate bundle in a storage medium associated with the entity, and utilizing, by the entity, the certificate bundle to authenticate at least one additional entity associated with the virtual cloud network.
