Azure-docs: What does the downtime entail

[Victor-Savu]

The warning on this page says that rotating the certificates can cause up to 30 minutes of downtime for the cluster. What does that downtime entail?

During that "downtime":

1. [ ] Can I deploy resources using kubectl apply?
2. [ ] Can I query the status of existing resources with kubectl get?
3. [ ] Will my pods be running as usual?
4. [ ] Will my services be accessible over the internet (i.e. are ingresses down?)

Thank you!

@Karishma-Tiwari-MSFT I'm sorry, but the answer did not help me at all. My "items" were 4 Yes/No questions and I am confused as to what it means that the _"Downtime includes"_ those questions :smile_cat:. Is that a "No" for all the questions above? If that is the case, I would suggest making it clear in the documentation, since 30 minutes of downtime for a production system can be extremely impactful, whereas 30 minutes of not being able to release updates to it is bad but not critical.
