# Tutorial: Configure certificate auto-rotation in Key Vault

You can easily provision, manage, and deploy digital certificates using Azure Key Vault. The certificates can be public and private Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates signed by a Certificate Authority (CA), or a self-signed certificate. Key Vault can also request and renew certificates through partnerships with CAs, providing a robust solution for certificate lifecycle management. In this tutorial, you will update a certificate's validity period, auto-rotation frequency, and CA attributes. For more information on Key Vault, review the [Overview](../general/overview.md).
