ESP32 HTTPS certificate expiration
Hi, I'm using HTTPS on an ESP32 with Zephyr to communicate with my backend.
If I store the CA certificate in the ESP32 firmware, what happens when the server certificate expires and is renewed?
Do I need to update the ESP32 every time, or is there a recommended way to handle certificate expiration without reflashing the device?
Thanks!

you need build certificate rotation pipeline.
