In the event that a cluster CA key or a manager node is compromised, you can rotate the swarm root CA so that none of the nodes trust certificates signed by the old root CA anymore. Run docker swarm ca --rotate to generate a new CA certificate and key. If you prefer, you can pass the --ca-cert and --external-ca flags to specify the root certificate and to use a root CA external to the swarm. Alternately, you can pass the --ca-cert and --ca-key flags to specify the exact certificate and key you would like the swarm to use. When you issue the docker swarm ca --rotate command, the following things Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
