-    This recommendation only applies if you let kubelets get their
-    certificates from the API Server. In case your certificates come from an
-    outside Certificate Authority/tool (e.g. Vault) then you need to take care
-    of rotation yourself
-
+    In OpenShift 4, the kubelet certification rotation is enabled by default. 
+    Openshift v4 automatically generates a new kube-apiserver-to-kubelet-signer CA certificates at 292
+    days, removes old CA certificate after 365 days, and the kubelet-client, kubelet-server 
+    certs are auto-rotated once every month. Hence, this rule is deprecated and not-applicable.
