   Cert revocation (or even expiration)

   Sudo roles

   User removal and process termination

   Is the cert server HA and locked down

   How you log in when the cert server is down or under attack (rich target!)

   How to easily add Alice to server group A, Bob to B, and Carlos to both A and B, and then to remove them..

     1. your signer that has to be up and correct all the time
     2. trust roots everywhere (and drifting)
     3. TTL tuning nonsense (too short = random lockouts, too long = what was the point)
     4. limited on-box state makes debugging harder than it should be
     5. failures tend to fan out instead of staying contained

     1. nodes pull over outbound HTTPS
     2. local authorized_keys is the source of truth locally
     3. users/roles are visible on the box
     4. drift fixes itself quickly
     5. no inbound ports, no CA signatures (WELL, not strictly true*!)

     1. creating the user account
     2. managing sudo roles
     3. deciding what happens to home directories on removal
     4. cleanup vs retention for compliance/forensics
